Department Emergency Action Planning

Creating a resilient campus requires collaborative planning and implementation of Risk Management, Mitigation, Emergency Preparedness, Business Continuity and Employee Personal Preparedness.  In a shared goal to protect our faculty, staff, students, visitors, academic and business operations, and our institution’s reputation, diligent attention must be given to each of these pillars of resiliency.

Emergency Action Plan

UCSC departments are required to be compliant with Cal OSHA 3220; the delivery of Emergency Action Plans to their employees.  Currently, this requirement is satisfied by completing and distributing the Level I Emergency Action Plan template.   

Steps for completing a Emergency Action Plan:

If you are located in a building that houses multiple department or divisions, every respective department must complete an Emergency Action Plan. Post and disseminate this plan to your employees. This is a necessary and required step towards fulfilling your emergency procedural compliance. Review Cal OSHA 3220

Download the Emergency Action Plan Template, then,

  • Enter the building name that your department resides in. 
  • Enter special operator duties, if applicable. 
  • Email the completed document to your department employees; include copy to: oem@ucsc.edu.
  • Post this document in common breakroom areas.
  • Where practical, post these procedures to your department web page or a shared location.
  • Review and distribute the EAP annually.
  • Include the EAP in new employee onboarding materials.

For any questions about campus safety training or to make a special request to have an ad hoc training delivered to your department, please contact oem@ucsc.edu.
