Action Guide for Emergency Management at Institutions of Higher Education
This Action Guide , released in January 2009, offers higher education institutions a useful resource in the field of emergency management. Produced by the U.S. Department of Education (ED)'s Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools (OSDFS), in collaboration with the ED's Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) Technical Assistance Center (TA Center), and based initially on the contributions of an Expert Panel convened by ED and the TA Center, this Action Guide is intended to serve as a resource for all types of institutions of higher education. The Action Guide aims to offer support to community colleges, two- and four-year colleges and universities, graduate schools, and research institutions associated with higher education entities, both public and private, in their emergency management planning efforts. Depending on need and experience, the information provided in this Action Guide can help personnel from higher education institutions and their partners better understand the field of emergency management within a higher education context, develop and implement an institution’s emergency management plan, and/or serve as a reference and resource to improve an institution’s existing plans. The Action Guide is not meant to serve as a prescriptive document, but, rather is intended to provide a number of resources and references to facilitate the emergency management planning process for institutions at all levels of knowledge and development.
