Campus Plans

PSU recognizes the value and necessity of planning for all phases of emergency incidents including, but not limited to, preparedness, mitigation, response, continuity, and recovery. While each phase is unique and warrants a customized planning approach, the phases are connected and planning for one phase can inform other efforts. In fact, effective and efficient emergency response draws on sufficient preparation, successful mitigation, viable continuity plans, and broad-based recovery plans.

Emergency Operations Plan

The PSU Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) outlines an enterprise level management and coordination structure for emergency response, and responsibilities and procedures related to specific hazards or emergency response functions.

Continuity Planning
