Policies and Procedures
Emergency Operations Plan OverviewAuburn University has an Emergency Operations Plan in place that defines the organizational structure for response to emergencies of a magnitude that would cause significant disruption to University operations. The plan identifies members of the Crisis Management Team, which is responsible for managing the operational aspects of the University’s response to an emergency event.
In the event of any crisis situation, including a weather emergency, significant utility disruption, hazardous materials release, or campus violence incident, the appropriate members of the Crisis Management Team will assemble to mitigate the consequences, promote the safety of the community, and provide for “continuity of business” for the University’s educational, research and outreach missions.
Standard Operating Guidelines
Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs) provide a more detailed framework for University operations during emergency events. Since all emergencies are unique in nature, these guidelines are designed to be flexible in order to accommodate contingencies of various types and magnitudes. Additional SOGs will be posted to this website as they are developed.
- Bomb Threat SOG (Currently being updated)
- Mass Notification SOG (Currently being updated)
