CSU Emergency Planning and Response

Colorado State University has an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) controlled by University Chief of Police and the Emergency Management Team (EMT). The EOP describes the University's emergency management plan to cope with hazards that threaten the campus. It describes the concept of operations for response to potential emergencies and delineates the role and responsibilities of departments, divisions, and agencies that are expected to help protect life and property on campus. It also describes how the University is organized to reduce or eliminate various threats to life and property by stating what actions need to be taken and who should take them.

Most major campus emergencies will be coordinated from an Emergency Operations Center staffed by members of the EMT. The EMT will oversee and support field operations staff that use an Incident command system. The Chief of Police, in conjunction with the Director of Environmental Health Services (EHS), will be the Emergency Coordinators. Strategic decisions will be made with advice from the EMT. The Emergency Coordinators will receive direction and support from the EMT. The EMT reports to the Associate Vice President for Public Safety.
