Emergency Preparedness is an initiative on campus to provide emergency response plans that will allow us to effectively react to any emergency. The planning process was done by a team representing departments that would be active participants in Emergency Response: Marketing and Communication,  Public Safety, Environmental Health and Safety, Health and Counseling Services, Human Resources, Student Services, Student Development, Risk Management,  Facilities, Fire Marshal. The team developed an Emergency Preparedness Plan which encompasses Incident Response, Emergency Communications, Pandemic  Planning and Business Continuity. The intent of this site is to provide access to pertinent emergency planning and mitigation processes that have been prepared and/or are ongoing.
