  • 2015 Annual Report
    2015 Annual Report 614-297-0533 • [email protected] 677 E. 11th Avenue • Columbus, OH 43211 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND 2015 BOARD PRESIDENT Dear Friends, During 2015, NNEMAP was faced with formidable challenges, but at the same time experienced exciting blessings. Foremost, the location where we had served since the mid-eighties, the old 3rd Avenue Methodist Church, was sold. Our landlord was Directions For Youth and Families. Their mission of serving local youth had changed as the Short North had gentrified over the years. They decided to sell the building to find another home. Roy Clark Executive The Ingram White Castle Foundation had given us their GROW award in Director 2014 and allowed us to use a portion of their grant for a down payment on a property in South Linden. Our new location had many advantages. It was handicap accessible, had triple the parking, was air conditioned, had a walk- in cooler, was on a bus line, and most importantly moved us closer to the needs of that community. The move was a costly one for NNEMAP. Again, we were blessed to be able to cover all of those costs with the generous support of the Helen Sells Clarkson Foundation at The Columbus Foundation and the Trinity United Methodist Church Foundation. South Linden is a priority neighborhood for the City of Columbus, Mid-Ohio Food Bank, and many other social agencies in the city. This move placed NNEMAP in a great location, at a great time, and an important moment in Jon Bennett our history. We believe with the support of our many churches, other com- 2015 Board munity partners, and valued volunteers that we are poised to make a real dif- President ference in the lives of our South Linden neighbors and other areas we serve.

  • Building Emergency Action Plan
    THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Building Emergency Action Plan Introduction Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) in collaboration with University Public Safety developed this Building Emergency Action Plan (BEAP) to assist with emergency responses. This plan is required by university policy (OSU Occupational Health & Safety Policy – 3.61); the Ohio Fire Code – 1301:7-7-04 (D) Section 404 Fire Safety & Evacuation Plans; and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard 29 CFR 1910.38 as required by the Ohio Revised Code, Chapter 4167 (Public Employees Risk Reduction Act). This plan is intended for use by departments that occupy university facilities and should be completed as a building plan that includes all departments and areas of the building. This plan is managed and coordinated through the Office of Public Safety, Emergency Management and Fire Prevention with the assistance of Environmental Health and Safety. It is expected departments will customize the appendices and complete this plan to meet their specific needs, operations and locations. Additional appendices can be added to customize the plan for building or department specific needs. The BEAP correlates with the larger Ohio State University Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) for campus operations during large scale or campus-wide emergencies and departmental specific business continuity plans for departmental operations during departmental or campus emergencies. The evacuation of university facilities presents unique situations and challenges. Some facilities may house only one department or college office whereas other facilities may contain business space for numerous departments. Additionally, the space occupied in university facilities may contain a wide range of uses including administrative office space, classroom space, lecture halls, conference rooms, laboratories, academic office space, etc.
