REVISED June 2008
Microsoft Word version | PDF Version [requires Adobe Acrobat]
Preface
The Emergency Procedures Guide has been designed to provide a contingency manual in order to plan for campus emergencies. While the guide does not cover every conceivable situation, it does supply the basic administrative guidelines necessary to cope with most campus emergencies.
The policies and procedures are expected to be followed by all administrators whose responsibilities and authorities cover the operational procedures found in the guide. Campus emergency operations will be conducted within the framework of the guidelines. Any exceptions to these crisis management procedures will be conducted by, or with the approval of, those administrators directing and/or coordinating the emergency operations.
All requests for procedural changes, suggestions, or recommendations will be submitted to the Director, Department of Public Safety for technical review. All changes recommended will be submitted in writing to the administration for evaluation and adoption.
