Build a Department Plan

Every University department is required to have a current Department Emergency Response Plan (ERP) that addresses how department personnel will respond to a variety of emergency situations. Plans account for how employees, students and guests should respond, shelter, evacuate and perform accountability checks.

In addition to creating and periodically updating Department ERPs, staff should be regularly trained on the plan contents, devoting extra attention to plan modifications.
