Venues that are used at each applicable conference may vary from year to year. Appendices and venue-specific plans should be developed and reviewed annually to ensure that each venue has adequate advance planning. While some venues change periodically, the following venues are regularly used and will be significantly incorporated into this plan : Locations in Fresno: 1.

7 California YMCA Youth & Government October 2017 Risk MANAGEMENT & EMERGENCY RESPONSE plan v Page 2 of 33 RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES In an effort to prevent emergencies, ensure participant safety, and mitigate risk and financial loss, the risk MANAGEMENT guidelines play a critical role in program safety. All members are expected to understand and adhere to all program rules, the Code of Conduct, and the Risk MANAGEMENT Guidelines. Safety & Wellness Advisors The Safety and Wellness Advisors (SWA's) provide day to day supervision for program delegates in support of delegation advisors, core staff, and volunteer staff.

8 SWA's are responsible for ensuring that all participants are in compliance with the Code of Conduct and work with delegation advisors to facilitate the enforcement of the Code of Conduct, including disciplinary action against any participant. Discipline may include participant warnings, restrictions at conference, or removal from the program. Violations of the Code of Conduct and the options for discipline are outlined in the Code of Conduct. SWA's are responsible for providing program oversight at hotel locations and providing periodic patrols of all conference venues.

9 SWA's will be recruited annually at a number determined by the CEO, dependent upon program enrollment and number of hotels and meeting facilities. Conference Security California YMCA will hire private security and/or local police to provide additional security to the event locations. Hired security officers are primarily responsible for monitoring conference boundaries and addressing situations involving non-program participants that are affecting participants, especially delegates. Additionally, many facilities, including hotels and conference centers, will have security on site and will have facility-specific security procedures.

10 California YMCA should obtain applicable procedures in advance of conferences to ensure that program EMERGENCY procedures are compatible with venue procedures and to enhance cooperation during an EMERGENCY . Accounting for Participants Accounting for the location of all program participants after an EMERGENCY is highly dependent upon the effort taken to account for all participants before an EMERGENCY . Conference Registration and Check-In To ensure that accurate rosters of volunteers, advisors, and delegates are available during conference, all participants are required to register by the designated date.
