Emergency Management

U of D Jesuit Campus Safety is proactive in taking steps to insure our community's well-being through our Emergency Management Procedures. Established guidelines and procedures are in place that outline how we will respond in the event of an emergency. An emergency can be defined as a tragic event that can quickly escalate into a school-wide catastrophe if not addressed immediately and effectively. Drills are practiced throughout the school year to insure everyone is trained on the proper procedures to follow in the event of an emergency situation.

Some of the areas covered in the Emergency Management Procedures are:

• Emergency phone number lists,
• Bomb threats,
• Utility interruptions,
• Chemical spills,
• Intruder in the building,
• Weapon in the building.

The Emergency Management Procedure manual contains check-off list, follow-up procedures, and evacuation sites. We feel confident that in the event of an emergency, we are prepared to deal with it effectively and have the tools in place to provide sufficient follow-up care. If you have questions regarding the plan, please contact either the Security Department at (313) 862-5400, extension 2340, or the Student Affairs Officer at extension 2366.
