At Stanford, planning ahead for emergencies is part of normal business
planning and campus life, and all members of the Stanford community share
a responsibility for preparedness. An emergency can strike anytime
or anywhere, and a disaster will affect everyone.
The School of Medicine maintains an emergency plan and Satellite Operations
Center to help protect our personnel; programs; and research and to support
the overall campus emergency response and recovery efforts.
Each Department/Division within the School of Medicine maintains their
own Emergency Response Plan which outlines strategies for protecting
Department personnel and programs and methods of coordinating with the
School of Medicine SOC.
All employees and students have a personal responsibility for knowing
what to do before, during, and after an emergency to protect their safety
and their work.
Personal Preparedness -
The key to our ability, as a University, to recover from a disaster,
is the active participation of individuals at all levels of the organization. Personal
preparedness is therefore critical to our ability to recover from a
disaster.
