University of Michigan - Flint

Providing a safe environment for employees to work and students to learn is a primary concern of the University of Michigan-Flint (UM-Flint) administration and campus community. All of us, regardless of our job description or title, want a safe and healthy environment. Critical to this goal is being knowledgeable about what to do in the event of an emergency, understanding our roles and responsibilities, following the guidelines for responding to incidents and practicing drills so that response becomes second nature.

Essentially emergency planning and being prepared is our shared responsibility.

This UM-Flint Campus Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is designed as an "All Hazards" approach to  response to a wide variety of emergency scenerios. Its primary focus is safely vacuating, sheltering, seeking medical treatment or responding in the inital phases of an emergency incident.  If an incident continues to evolve without being adequately controled, he Crisis Management Team may be activated. Business Continuity Plans may be initiate.

However, the primary function of the ERP is to establish a framework for UM-Flint to respond ffectively and safely to an emergency. This includes assessing an emergency situation, coordinating a response effort and, most importantly, ensuring that individuals are informed, safely evacuated or sheltered and accounted for with reasonable assurance.

If you have any questions, concerns or would like further information about the Campus ERP r perhaps need assistance in further developing departmental response plans and Business ontinuity Plans or BCPs please contact EHS at 810-766-6763.
