7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.
