Faculty and Staff Preparedness Information

Unfortunately we never know when an emergency might happen. They come in the form of severe weather, accidents, and terrorist attacks. Planning now for how you would respond will help you remain calm, think clearly and react appropriately to any disaster.

Taking responsibility for your own safety by being prepared with plans and an emergency supply kit not only increases your ability to survive, but reduces the workload of first responders, emergency medical services, fire fighters and law enforcement.

Emergency preparedness is the responsibility of every individual in the Western Carolina University community.  Take this short quiz to determine your reeadiness quotient.Take time also to familiarize yourself with the campus annual safety report that details information about notification, crime, and incidents on our campus.

Faculty and staff should visit the Office of Safety and Risk Management's web site to reference items such as occupational health and safety, hazardous materials, fire safety, ad much more.  Additionally a checklist has been provided to assess your preparedness for an emergency.
