Campus Emergency Plans • Essential campus emergency measures: • Coordinate with student and faculty groups, parents, local officials • Inventory campus resources and consider creative application, e.g., busses as shelters, ambulances for “greens” in mass casualty events • Housing students, stay or go home • Feeding capacity • Neighbors, especially in urban settings
