Integrated Emergency Operations Plan

Purdue University has incorporated its major emergency planning programs into this Integrated Emergency Operations Plan (IEOP). The plan considers all phases of emergency management operations in order to minimize the impacts of natural and human caused disasters. The IEOP includes response guidelines, Emergency Operations Center procedures, a Building Emergency Plan template, and our Purdue ALERT process. The IEOP will ensure the University community is well prepared to react to emergencies at the West Lafayette campus.

Purdue University has also embraced National Incident Management System (NIMS) concepts, requirements, and policies. Moreover, the University's first responders comply with the Incident Command System. The IEOP blends these concepts and procedures into the plan which will enhance the University's ability to respond and recover from emergency incidents.

The IEOP is a tool. It requires the faculty, staff and students to stay vigilant, embrace the preparedness concepts, and ensure the procedures become part of our daily routine. We must all prepare for the "unexpected" and be ready if disaster strikes our great university.
