Department and Unit Planning Resources

The University of Oregon has developed an enterprise-wide Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The purpose of the university’s Emergency Operations Plan is to outline the management structure, responsibilities, procedures, and guiding policies to assist the University of Oregon in responding to an emergency event. The EOP directs response efforts when Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) developed by university departments and units are insufficient to handle an emergency and/or crisis. Department/unit specific plans and Standard Operating Procedures compliment and support University-wide planning efforts while providing more depth and specific detail regarding department/unit-level response.

While there are enterprise-wide emergency plans, it is a department/unit’s responsibility to develop a department/unit specific emergency response plan.

Preparing for emergencies on campus is a shared responsibility among the UO Emergency Management and Continuity program, individual departments/units, and University faculty and staff. Departments/units can prepare for a variety of emergencies by developing a department/unit emergency response plan. A department/unit emergency response plan identifies a department/unit’s specific approach to emergencies and is meant to compliment the overall campus level UO Emergency Operations Plan.

To begin the planning process, department/units can use the use the provided here. The guide is organized into three phases: Phase I – Get Ready, Phase II – Get Set, and Phase III – Go!
