Emergency Preparedness

The Department of Public Safety coordinates all preparedness activities for Saint Louis University. It also maintains the overarching Emergency Operation Plan and oversees the Campus Incident Management Team.

The responsibility of emergency preparedness is to strengthen the resilience of Saint Louis University through ensuring that the University is prepared to respond to, prevent, recover from, and mitigate against the effects of a wide variety of disasters that could adversely affect the health, safety, and/or general welfare of the students, faculty, staff, and visitors. 博彩网址大全’s emergency management approach is designed around an all-hazards and whole community concept which expounds upon national preparedness efforts, planning frameworks and mission areas to charge protection, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery functions. 

Four phases of Emergency Management

  1. Prevention/Mitigation-refers to measures that reduce the chance of an emergency happening, or reducing the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies.
  2. Preparedness-taking steps to increase our ability to respond in the event of an emergency. Preparedness activities include training, conducting exercises and developing plans.
  3. Response-occurs immediately before, during and after an incident. Response actions are aimed at saving lives and preserving property.
  4. Recover-returns the community’s systems and activities to normal. Activities may include repairing damaged buildings, cleaning up debris and restoring basic services.
