Campus Emergency Procedures

General emergency procedures are distributed through department Level I Emergency Action Plans and through emergency preparedness posters, which contain procedures for the most serious types of emergencies which may occur. Additional procedures are also available on this web site by selecting the appropriate incident type on the list below. 

Emergency procedures are recommended courses of action. When experiencing a critical incident, each individual must observe, assess, plan, and act based on their own confrontation of the events as they unfold.

These procedures are also available as a Emergency Response Guide (PDF).
