University Disaster Preparedness Requires Communication, Community Involvement
By sharing ideas and experiences, university emergency management teams are making sure they’re as prepared as possible for an on-campus disaster.
They’re connecting on the Disaster Resilient University listserv, networking with other emergency managers and researching best practices in emergency management. And whether they face an earthquake, a shooting or a tornado, the best emergency management programs work together with campus and community stakeholders during the planning process.
Even with careful planning and preparation, an emergency can strike that will stretch preparedness levels and resources. “There’s always situations out there that you may or may not think about that can certainly trip you up or can certainly test your resources and test your abilities.”
