Emergency Management

Emergency Action Plans

We help you plan how to keep people safe during an emergency in your space.

The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is a document designed to assist building occupants with their emergency planning and response efforts. The EAP includes but is not limited to:

  • Campus and building specific emergency communication systems
  • Definition of emergency management team members and/or emergency contact lists
  • Evacuation/shelter-in-place/lockdown procedures
  • Concept of operations for various types of emergency situations
  • Training and exercise schedule implementation

What you can do

It’s very likely that your building already has a EAP. If you have questions about emergency plans for your building, contact your EAP coordinator. If you don’t know who your EAP coordinator is, contact us at dps-em@illinois.edu or 217-333-1216.

For general emergency response guidelines, review our Run, Hide, Fight procedures.
