The purpose of the Oklahoma State University Emergency Response Plan is to provide a rapid, coordinated and effective response to dangerous man-made or naturally occurring incidents or events for the purpose of protecting the public health and safety, the University environment, to preserve and safeguard property, and then to:
  1. Provide support and information to responders for the management of dangerous man-made or naturally occurring incidents or events.

  2. Reduce duplication of emergency response efforts between University departments and agencies.

  3. Organize and coordinate all available manpower and prepare materials, supplies, equipment, facilities and services necessary for emergency disaster response to any natural disasters, technological accidents, nuclear/radiological incidents, and other major incidents or hazards that might occur.

This plan sets forth a comprehensive (multi-use) emergency management program for Oklahoma State University.  It seeks to:

  1. Mitigate the effects of hazards.

  2. Prepare measures to preserve life and minimize damage

  3. Enhance response during emergencies and provide necessary assistance

  4. Establish a recovery system in order to return the University to its normal state of affairs.

Oklahoma State University is committed to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of persons and protection of property on the OSU campus should an emergency occur.

It is the policy of the University that in the event of a major emergency or disaster, University personnel and equipment will prioritize their response as follows:

  1. Life Safety

  2. Preservation of the University's property and structures

  3. Restoration of University utilities

  4. Restoration of academic program and general University operations
