Operational Safety Plans for Crisis at Higher Education Institutions

Are you as prepared as you can be?

Unfortunately, in addition to natural events such as hurricanes, tornados, and blizzards  to name a few, Institutions must now be prepared to deal with human caused and technological crises. In many cases, limited resources prior to a crisis may lead to inadequate planning that hampers implementation. Additionally, operational safety plans typically are created or revised in a reactive manner after the fact.

We have found that effective best practices for operational safety planning are either unknown to institutions that need them most or they do not have the requisite resources to design and implement safety plans in full.

While not the only stakeholders in this process Facilities Management and Campus Safety are key players.

We can help.
