In the event of a major emergency affecting the entire university, the University Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be activated. The EOC will work closely with each of the local Department Operation Centers (DOC) in responding to and recovering from a major emergency. The local DOCs will then communicate with the departments under their control.
Now is the time to become familiar with the designated Emergency Assembly Point (EAP) for your local area, in the event that a building evacuation becomes necessary. The resource section of this guide contains a link to all university EAP sites as well as links to other valuable information.
In the event of an emergency closure please call your local contact or hotline for information on the operating status of your local business unit. If you do not know your local contact or hotline number, ask your supervisor for the information, print the next section of this manual and write down the number.
