Emergency Management
UC takes a comprehensive approach to prevent, mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from any adverse event or disruption, including all types of emergencies and disasters. The goal is to create a disaster-resistant and disaster-resilient institution with effective crisis and consequence management capability.
The Emergency Management (EM) programs at all ten UC campuses and five medical centers are staffed by multi-disciplinary personnel in public safety (police/fire), EH&S, and various independent emergency management offices. These Emergency Managers are augmented by Continuity Managers who coordinate the implementation of "UC Ready," our systemwide mission continuity planning program, that seeks to minimize operational disruptions and recover and restore critical functions as soon as possible.
Risk Services provides strategic guidance, leadership, oversight, and systemwide coordination of personnel and resources in support of UC emergency management and continuity planning programs. OPRS also staffs the Emergency Manager function for UCOP.
