Emergency Preparedness

Preparation is the responsibility of every member of the community. Individuals should prepare with supplies, a plan to stay in touch, and information about what to do in an emergency, and what’s happening during a disaster. Departments should also prepare with their own emergency plans, to address their own particular emergency response needs and to augment the university’s Emergency Operations Plan.
