Emergency Preparedness
Led by Johnny Vanderpool, our unit's primary goal is to provide, in conjunction with the Campus Emergency Preparedness Program, information that ensures the safety and well-being of staff, faculty, students and visitors in the event that an emergency occurs. A secondary purpose is to maintain essential business services and operation in the time of an emergency. Staff should be reminded that it is also a function of this plan to protect and secure University facilities, property, and equipment from loss.
