Do you know where to seek shelter during a tornado warning?  How will you know if the campus is closed due to a blizzard?  The Office of Emergency Preparedness centralizes emergency procedures and notification for students, their families, faculty and staff at the University of Denver.

Mission

The University's senior leadership has a strong commitment to personal preparedness planning. Therefore, the Department of Campus Safety's Office of Emergency Preparedness develops, communicates and trains on the University's emergency policies, strategies, plans and procedures. Staff works closely with departments and offices to design, train and exercise emergency response and business continuity plans. This office educates students, faculty, and staff on mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery strategies. The office assesses the University's preparedness for natural, epidemic and human caused emergencies while working collaboratively with representatives from the City and County of Denver and other local, regional, state, and federal agencies on emergency planning.
