Emergencies can occur in the academic setting and strike anyone at anytime. An emergency is an unforeseen situation that threatens university employees, students, or the public; disrupts or shuts down operations; or causes physical or environmental damage. This safety website outlines actions to be taken by individuals during an emergency situation and provides useful preparedness information for the university community.
All faculty, staff, and students should familiarize themselves with the university's general emergency procedures. They are posted in all ETSU buildings. These procedures give students, faculty, and staff specific information about what to do in the event of fire, severe weather, power outages, and hazardous material releases. The posting also provides specific procedures to follow for building evacuation and response to the campus emergency notification system.
