guidelines for private colleges and universities to use in
developing emergency evacuation plans for all forms of student
housing owned, operated, and offered by private colleges and
universities, both on campus and off campus. In developing the
guidelines, the California Emergency Management Agency shall consider
Sections 3.09 and 3.13 of Title 19 of the California Code of
Regulations. The guidelines shall address all of the following
issues:
   (1) Plan content. The plans should include, but need not be
limited to, the following:
   (A) Specific evacuation routes that recognize the needs of persons
with special needs, such as persons with disabilities.
   (B) The designation of a meeting place or places upon evacuation.
   (C) The education of students and staff in emergency procedures.
   (2) The implementation and maintenance of the evacuation plan by
the director of student housing, or other appropriate officer, at
individual campuses. The director, or other appropriate officer, is
responsible for scheduling periodic tests of the plan and
implementing changes as needed.
   (b) Each private college or university shall establish an
emergency evacuation plan for its postsecondary student housing and
may consult with the California Emergency Management Agency for
guidance in developing and establishing the plan.
