16 Catastrophic Incident in Athletics July 2004 • Revised July 2008 The NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports acknowledges the significant input of Timothy Neal, ATC, Syracuse University, who originally authored this guideline. Catastrophes such as death or permanent disability occurring in intercollegiate athletics are rare. However, the aftermath of a catastrophic incident to a studentathlete, coach or staff member can be a time of uncertainty and confusion for an institution. It is recommended that NCAA member institutions develop their own catastrophic incident guideline to provide information and the support necessary to family members, teammates, coaches and staff after a catastrophe. Centralizing and disseminating the information is best served by developing a catastrophic incident guideline. This guideline should be distributed to administrative, sports medicine and coaching staffs within the athletics department. The guideline should be updated and reviewed annually with the entire staff to ensure information is accurate and that new staff GUIDELINE 1e members are aware of the guideline. Components of a catastrophic incident guideline should include: 1. Definition of a catastrophic incident: The sudden death of a student-athlete, coach or staff member from any cause, or disabling and/or quality of life altering injuries. 2. A management team: A select group of administrators who receive all facts pertaining to the catastrophe. This team works collaboratively to officially communicate information to family members, teammates, coaches, staff, the institution and media. This team may consist of one or more of the following: director of athletics, head athletic trainer, university spokesperson, dir ector of athletic communications and university risk manager. This team may select others to help facilitate fact finding specific to the incident. 3. Immediate action plan: At the moment of the catastrophe, a checklist of whom to call and immediate steps to secure facts and offer support are items to be included. 4. Chain of command/role delineation: This area outlines each individual’s responsibility during the aftermath of the catastrophe. Athletics administrators, university administrators and support services personnel should be involved in this area. 5. Criminal circumstances: Outline the collaboration of the athletics department with university, local and state law enforcement officials in the event of accidental death, homicide or suicide. 6. Away contest responsibilities: Catastrophes may occur at away contests. Indicate who should stay behind with the individual to coordinate communication and act as a university representative until relieved by the institution. 7. Phone list and flow chart: Phone numbers of all key individuals (office, home, cell)
