6. The fundamental principles of emergency management is are based on four phases – mitigation, preparedness, respons and recovery. During the   Mitigation  phase, we conduct an annual hazard mitigation risk assessment that identifies those hazards we judge to be most critical and need our efforts to focus on in the upcoming year. By concentrating our efforts in these areas,we reduce the risk to the University’s students, faculty and staff.

7. Building and maintaining our incident command and crisis action teams is the focus of our  Preparedness  activities. Training these staff members in emergency management procedures, developing emergency response and Continuity of Operations plans, conducting table-top and full-scale exercises, as well as participating in the Storm Ready Program while maintaining our BU Alert emergency notification system are a few of the things we do to better prepare the University for a response to an emergency when it occurs.

8. Our initial  Response  is comprised of the men and women of our Facilities Management and Planning, Environmental Health and Safety and Public Safety Departments. Boston University has a great working relationship with public emergency response organizations in Boston and Brookline if and when they’re needed.

9. The objective of the  Recovery  phase is to get the campus back to normal (the way things were before the emergency) as soon as possible. Time and time again, whether it’s snow storms, floods or fires, the incident command and response teams have met this objective. Working with the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management and the Massachusetts and Federal Emergency Management Agencies, we feel confident that if additional resources are needed to address large scale emergencies or disasters, that assistance will be on the way quickly.
