2.10, Emergency Planning

 Policy Statement

Cornell University organizes, coordinates, and directs available resources toward an effective response to, and recovery from, emergencies. The effectiveness of this effort is dependent on the development of individual unit plans. The university, therefore, expects colleges, divisions, and individual departments to develop detailed emergency plans. This policy includes a chain of command establishing the authority and responsibilities of campus officials and staff members, and requires that colleges, divisions, and individual departments designate emergency coordinators with the authority to make modifications in emergency procedures and to commit resources for emergency preparedness, as necessary.

 Entities Affected by this Policy

All units of the university (excluding the Weill Cornell Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences)
