EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
This Emergency Preparedness site and the links
found below, contain information from the university’s
crisis management and business continuity plans.
A work group made up of representatives from a
cross-section of university departments meets
every three weeks to work on updating and adding
to the University’s documented emergency-related
plans. On an annual basis the plans are tested
and fine-tuned using regular planning exercises.
A group that includes AU’s president, provost,
vice presidents, and the university’s emergency
response team, work with government safety officials
and emergency planning consultants to develop
and carry out tabletop exercises. These exercises
provide the opportunity to examine the existing
decision-making and communication processes.
We are also extremely fortunate to have over 200
full-time faculty and staff volunteers who are
trained annually on their designated emergency
assistance team’s responsibilities.
The links below cover topics including; evacuation
procedures, emergency team training documents,
procedures for weather-related and other emergencies
and a link to sign up for emergency text alerts
through the Alert DC notification system. Not
posted as public information are the parts of
the plans containing evacuation sites, telephone
trees, risk analyses, and individual department
evacuation plans that include floor plans of the
buildings in which the departments are located.
We will continue to hone our plans in an effort
to respond to as many eventualities as possible.
