Emergency Response Information is designed to help individual employees, supervisors and emergency responders in the event of an emergency or disaster. Effective emergency response requires comprehensive planning and coordination from all individuals and groups that will be involved. With training and effective information individuals and emergency response groups can be prepared to handle the emergency situation with skill and confidence.

The Environmental Health and Safety Office in cooperation with the Chemical Hygiene Committee are developing a Emergency Response Information book for each building owned, leased or used by the university. These books contain evacuation information, utility shut-off information, contact information, ventilation information and the location and type of hazardous materials located in the building.
