Emergency Preparation Matters

Yale Emergency Management is committed to ensure that the Yale Community is well prepared for an Emergency. This website is designed to inform you about emergency preparations matters, both on campus and at home. What do you do if?? How will I know?? How can I?? Be prepared and stay informed!

On Campus preparation activities are on-going. We are fortunate that Yale has police and security departments that are equipped to offer assistance, as well as departments that address hazardous materials, fire safety, and other areas. We also have a medical school with leaders in virtually every field of medical science including emergency medicine and infectious diseases. Experts from across campus form our Emergency Operations Center and are prepared to manage an array of crisis situations. This group meets regularly to review procedures and participate in drills and exercises. The goal is to be fully prepared to face situations that we hope will never occur.

"The only thing tougher than planning for a disaster is explaining why you didn't."
— Bob Fields, manager of emergency services for Santa Clara County
