Emergency Plans and Annexes
Brief information about the university’s emergency plans and annexes appears below. You may view these plans and annexes to familiarize yourself with how the university plans for emergencies, and improve your understanding of emergency planning.
Plans
Emergency Operations Plan
This plan outlines our approach to emergency operations, provides general guidance for emergency management activities and an overview of our methods of mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. It also describes our emergency response organization and assigns responsibilities for various emergency tasks. This plan is intended to provide a framework for more specific functional annexes that describe in more detail “who does what, when, and how”. Every administrative and academic unit should maintain a plan to protect personnel and equipment that supports campus-wide response and recovery actions. Department and Unit plans found in Annexes identify critical operations of the respective department, as well as essential personnel involved with critical operations.
