EKU Emergency Management
Falling under Campus Operations, EKU Emergency Management is responsible for facilitating emergency response and evacuation procedures for the campus community. In August 2009, the EKU Emergency Action Plan was implemented and replaced the Campus Emergency Response Plan. Although Eastern Kentucky University takes precautions to prevent them, emergencies do occur. When they do, employees are expected to use their own judgment and discretion in order to make quick, effective, and decisive responses. The EKU Emergency Action Plan can be found in a link under Key Resources. EKU Emergency Management is located at the Adams House.
