Department Emergency Plan

The purpose of the Department Emergency Plan is to provide a framework, guidelines and procedures for emergency response.

Department Emergency Plan (DEP)

Departments, Divisions, Institutes, and Centers within the School of Medicine maintain their own DEP. This plan was written in compliance with the Stanford University Campus Emergency Plan and is reviewed and updated annually. All research laboratories should be provided a copy of their department's DEP.

There are two major components to the Department Emergency Plans, hard copy binders and online emergency plans.

Hard Copy Binder

Each department shall maintain hard copy binder(s) which should, at a minimum, be maintained and updated annually. The hard copy binder(s) should be used in the event of an emergency and department Emergency Coordinators, or another designated department individual, is responsible for bringing the hard copy binder to the Emergency Asspembly Point (EAP) in the event of a building evacuation.

Online Emergency Plan (Box Cloud Platform)

In addition to the hard copy binder(s), each department shall maintain their plan on Box. Box is a cloud-based platform that allows key department personnel access to their department's emergency plan remotely, if needed. Key department personnel is granted access to their own department’s Department Emergency Plan (DEP) Box folder to maintain confidentiality of department information.
