Fires, severe weather, medical emergencies, and violent incidents are occurrences we never wish upon our campus; however, having systems in place can make these traumatic events more manageable. 

Emergency Response Guide posters are now located in nearly 800 classrooms, teaching laboratories, and departmental seminar rooms. The posters provide quick, useful information needed in the event of an emergency.

Knowing where to go or how to evacuate in the event of an emergency is critical. Campus emergency maps provide key information including storm shelters, evacuation routes, and emergency equipment locations. 

Medical emergencies may require the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). In 2016, there was a 20% increase in AEDs on campus including 10 units in residence halls as well as 10 in various campus locations for a total of 121. Since the inception of the program, AEDs have been used on campus 5 times, saving 4 lives.
