Emergency Management Planning Working Group

The Emergency Management Planning Working Group is charged with developing Emergency Management Plans for the University. The Working Group's initial task is to develop a plan for responding to a influenza pandemic. The Working Group consults on key policy issues with the President’s Policy Team, as needed.

The Working Group's planning efforts cover the four facets of emergency management: (1) mitigation, (2) preparedness, (3) response, and (4) recovery. The Working Group works with individual academic and administrative units to identify the University’s critical business operations, make appropriate assumptions based on historical trends about the likely threats the University could face, evaluate these threats through well-developed scenarios, determine what impact these emergencies will have on the safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors and on the University’s business continuity, and recommend appropriate measures to be taken before, during, and after an emergency to eliminate or minimize the risks and ensure that the University’s business continuity is least impacted.
