Emergency management
PLAN. PREPARE. EDUCATE.
Emergency management maintains, coordinates, and supports the planning, training, and exercises to prepare the University in the event of natural disasters or human-caused emergencies.
Be Prepared
Emergency Operations Plan
What it is
The UAF EOP is a document that uses an all-hazards approach to establish policies and responsibilities for University staff and faculty in the event of an emergency.
What it is for
The UAF EOP explains how the University will manage emergencies on any of the University campuses through the preparedness, mitigation, and response and recovery phases in order:
- Protect life, property and the environment
- Promote safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors
- Describe the mechanisms for disaster response coordination among University staff and volunteers, local government and first responders in the management of emergencies or disasters
- Assign emergency management tasks to University staff and faculty as appropriate for response to natural and man-made hazards.
Emergency Action Plans
EAPs will be added as they are edited for each building. If you need yours sooner, please send an email to uaf-oem@alaska.edu. Policy regarding the emergency action plans.

Emergency Response Guide
- Leave using the nearest exit and close the door.
- Do not use elevators.
- Take personal belongings (keys, purse, wallet, etc.).
- Follow directions given by emergency personnel.
- Assist people with disabilities.
- Go to your building’s predetermined meeting location, and stay there until given further instructions.
- Pull the nearest fire alarm and call 911.
- Evacuate the building, go to your predetermined meeting
location, and count your team members. Stay there until
all members are accounted for. - Tell emergency personnel if someone is in the building.
- Do not enter the building until emergency personnel
say it is safe to do so.
- Run: If you can, escape to a safe location.
- Hide/barricade: If you can’t run, find a place to hide
and/or barricade. Silence cell phones, lock and block
doors, turn off lights. - Fight: As a last resort, if your life is in danger, use any
available objects as weapons to distract, disarm, disable
and overcome the intruder. - Assess: Look for ways to improve your situation. For
example, if you are hiding and it is now safe to run, do so. - Call 911: If it’s safe to do so, call police and give them as
much information as possible.
- Move away from glass windows and doors.
- Duck under a table or desk or get along an inside wall —
not in a doorway. - Stay under cover and hold on until the shaking stops.
- After the shaking stops, check yourself and others for
injuries, and move toward the nearest exit. - Evacuate the building.
- It’s OK to inquire if you can provide assistance, but do
not physically confront the person. - Do not let anyone into a locked building or office.
- Do not block the person’s access to an exit or attempt
to restrain him or her. - Call 911. Provide as much information as possible about
the person and direction of travel. If you see a vehicle,
license plate numbers are extremely helpful.
- Every effort is made to keep the university open during
extreme weather. - Monitor local television, radio stations and social media
for announcements. - Visit for updates.
- Close and lock all windows and doors.
- Depending on the situation, take cover behind or beneath a sturdy object.
- Stay put, and wait for instructions.
CALL 911
Cardiac arrest
-
- Assess the scene for danger (electrical causes, etc.).

-
- Apply firm, direct pressure to the wound with a clean cloth. Elevate if possible.
- Immobilize the body part.
- Keep the person as comfortable as possible.
-
