É«É«À²

É«É«À² Michigan University has a Critical Incident Response Planning Committee that meets monthly to discuss emergency planning.

Based on an all-hazards approach, a comprehensive set of guidelines was developed to provide emergency management response and recovery should a critical incident occur at É«É«À².

The plan includes two main groups:

1. The chief executive officer (president) and the Critical Incident Policy Group (vice presidents).
2. The Emergency Operations Center, comprised of the following six teams.
   
   • Academic support
   • Damage assessment
   • Human services
   • Logistical support
   • Public information
   • Public safety

Each team also has specific emergency-action guidelines that include checklists of actions to consider, emergency contact information and additional reference materials. As a living document, emergency action guidelines are continually reviewed and updated.
