Preparing for Emergency Situations

Emergency situations can rarely be avoided; however, they can become less serious if proper planning has taken place to react to such situations. To assist members of the campus community with reporting and dealing with emergency situations appropriately, an Emergency Procedure Handbook, as well as a Personal Safety Q&A was designed. The most common emergencies, which have occurred in the past, as well as those most likely to occur in the future are documented.

• Standard Emergency procedures
• Contact information on a per emergency basis
• Step-by-step assessment criteria for use on a situational basis
• Precise instructions on proper handling of situations
