Emergency Management
Our mission is to coordinate and facilitate Florida A&M University’s emergency preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation activities to protect our students, faculty, staff, resources and infrastructure in order to maintain or restore university operations.
What We Do
The Department of Emergency Management coordinates and supports the University's efforts to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate emergencies that may affect students, faculty, staff, visitors and University operations. Emergency Management works in coordination with University departments, emergency response partners, and other appropriate stakeholders to support effective incident management.
Emergency Management
- Incident Governance Framework
Florida A&M University manages emergency incidents using the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS) and coordinates University emergency operations through the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) consistent with the National Response Framework.
- Emergency Operations Center
Emergency Management coordinates and supports the University’s preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts in coordination with appropriate University departments and response partners. EOC activation, campus closure, and emergency notification authorities are exercised by designated University officials in accordance with applicable University policies and procedures.
- Emergency Authorities
Emergency authorities are established by University policy and applicable emergency management plans. Designated University officials exercise authority related to EOC activation, emergency notifications, campus closure, and other emergency protective actions in accordance with applicable University policies and procedures.
