1 University Emergencies Joint Student Administration/HRMS UL Meeting June 15, 2007
2 Agenda Overview Personal Emergencies Definition Importance of Emergency Contacts UL Action Items University-wide/Business Unit Emergencies, Pandemic Emergencies New Report and M-Pathways role UL Action Items
3 Overview Today’s UL meeting is the beginning of a University-wide communication campaign to explain the importance of being prepared for emergencies at the University Confusion between “a personal emergency” and "unit emergency preparedness" at the University. A “personal emergency” refers to something that happens to you personally. “Unit emergency preparedness” means that some emergency has happened within the Unit/Department, such as a fire or flood. Now is an appropriate time to help the University community understand the differences

5 Emergency Contact Current Usage About 30% participation (students & employees) Positive trend Slight increase in the last 5 months Increase of about 4,000 new incoming undergraduates students adding emergency contact data (presumably due to the Housing application) Good trend considering that Summer Orientation just started
