The Emergency Operations Manager position and associated duties were transferred from the Environmental Safety Division to the Office of Security
Preparedness in August 2005.
The transfer of the emergency operations function will enable the Office of Security & Emergency Preparedness to work with multiple campus departments to provide a more comprehensive large scale emergency preparedness plan for the University community.
The Office of Security & Emergency Preparedness website is now the official source for information regarding the University’s overall emergency operations plan and other emergency planning and mitigation services (other than information technology plans which fall under the Office of Information Security).
Emergency Operations is tasked with creating a viable emergency response capability for the University in the event of a large scale event. The types of events are both manmade and natural covering everything from tornados, ice storms, and fires to hazardous materials releases. A basic emergency response plan for the campus is available.
