Continuity & Emergency Services

Our mission is to provide information that will save lives during extraordinary emergency events and hasten the resumption of normal University operations during the recovery process. An effective organizational emergency response depends on an informed campus community whose members are familiar with campus procedures and understand their personal responsibility for emergency preparedness and response.

Emergency Services: Planning for your safety

UCSD Emergency Operations Plan

Introduction

UCSD’s Emergency Operation Plan addresses the campus community’s plan to address various human-caused and natural emergency situations including fires, hazardous spills, earthquakes, flooding, explosion, and civil disorders.

The Plan is comprised of four parts:

1.  Mitigation Phase - Evaluates hazards and risks, and provides for the development of hazard mitigation and contingency plans.

2.  Preparedness Phase - Identifies actions that will increase emergency preparedness. This includes testing of alert systems, training of personnel and public information efforts to raise awareness of emergency services programs.

3.  Response Phase - Anticipates immediate response activities, which will be needed within the first few hours to deal with medical issues, containment of hazardous materials releases, assessment of building damages, etc.

4.  Recovery Phase - Sets forth procedures to restore University functions to pre-event conditions and secure funding to cover physical damage to the campus.
