What it is
The °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ EOP is a document that uses an all-hazards approach to establish policies and responsibilities for University staff and faculty in the event of an emergency.
What it is for
The °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ EOP explains how the University will manage emergencies on any of the University campuses through the preparedness, mitigation, and response and recovery phases in order:
- Protect life, property and the environment
- Promote safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors
- Describe the mechanisms for disaster response coordination among University staff and volunteers, local government and first responders in the management of emergencies or disasters
- Assign emergency management tasks to University staff and faculty as appropriate for response to natural and man-made hazards.

Emergency Response Guide
- Leave using the nearest exit and close the door.
- Do not use elevators.
- Take personal belongings (keys, purse, wallet, etc.).
- Follow directions given by emergency personnel.
- Assist people with disabilities.
- Go to your building’s predetermined meeting location, and stay there until given further instructions.
- Pull the nearest fire alarm and call 911.
- Evacuate the building, go to your predetermined meeting
location, and count your team members. Stay there until
all members are accounted for. - Tell emergency personnel if someone is in the building.
- Do not enter the building until emergency personnel
say it is safe to do so.
- Run: If you can, escape to a safe location.
- Hide/barricade: If you can’t run, find a place to hide
and/or barricade. Silence cell phones, lock and block
doors, turn off lights. - Fight: As a last resort, if your life is in danger, use any
available objects as weapons to distract, disarm, disable
and overcome the intruder. - Assess: Look for ways to improve your situation. For
example, if you are hiding and it is now safe to run, do so. - Call 911: If it’s safe to do so, call police and give them as
much information as possible.
- Move away from glass windows and doors.
- Duck under a table or desk or get along an inside wall —
not in a doorway. - Stay under cover and hold on until the shaking stops.
- After the shaking stops, check yourself and others for
injuries, and move toward the nearest exit. - Evacuate the building.
- It’s OK to inquire if you can provide assistance, but do
not physically confront the person. - Do not let anyone into a locked building or office.
- Do not block the person’s access to an exit or attempt
to restrain him or her. - Call 911. Provide as much information as possible about
the person and direction of travel. If you see a vehicle,
license plate numbers are extremely helpful.
- Every effort is made to keep the university open during
extreme weather. - Monitor local television, radio stations and social media
for announcements. - Visit for updates.
- Close and lock all windows and doors.
- Depending on the situation, take cover behind or beneath a sturdy object.
- Stay put, and wait for instructions.
CALL 911
