Emergency Preparedness

Emergency, in general, means an immediate threat to life and/or property that requires immediate attention. It may affect anyone at any time and at any place. Each individual must learn the appropriate response protocol for a variety of the emergency events. It would help saving lives and minimizing damages in the event of emergencies.

Emergencies on campus may include:

• Crimes
• Electric shock
• Fall or collapse of building structures
• Fire
• Flooding
• Leakage of town gas
• Lift failure
• Medical emergencies
• Spillage of hazardous substances

The above list is not exhaustive and individual department should have their own plan for responding possible emergencies arising from their activities. HSO can provide assistance in developing these plans.
