Building Emergency Action Plans

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø EAP Cover

The Building Emergency Action Plan (EAP) outlines general procedures for evacuation, shelter-in-place, lockdown, and other protective actions during campus emergencies. Because different situations require different responses, the EAP provides a flexible framework to guide quick, clear decision-making during unpredictable events. While the plan offers important guidance for most emergencies, it may not address every possible scenario.

Each campus building has a Building Appendix that contains information specific to that location, such as evacuation routes, shelter areas, and unique building considerations. Building Coordinators are responsible for keeping their Building Appendix current. Emergency Management is available to assist with reviewing and updating the appendices as needed.

A Building Appendix template is available to ensure consistency across departments. Departments may customize their appendix by removing sections that do not apply or adding details relevant to their operations.
