All campus departments and their affiliated sites are required to prepare an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). This plan outlines your department’s preparedness measures and priority actions for managing emergencies, from small accidents to citywide disasters, and should include:

• Personnel roster
• Inventory of emergency supplies
• Evacuation plan and exit routes
• Special staff assignments/needs list
• Evacuation Chairs
  
• Location of your emergency evacuation assembly areas
• Critical functions, data or research to be protected
• Worksite emergency coordinator and floor wardens
• Alternate floor wardens and emergency coordinators to serve in absence of primary floor wardens and emergency coordinators.
• Emergency communication and after-hours notification plan
• Campus emergency phone locations

The Emergency Action Plan can be organized by worksite (office, lab), by Division or Department, and by floor or building.  Collaboration between neighboring workspaces on the same floor to develop a single "Neighborhood" EAP is encouraged.
