The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh has developed a new manual to ensure that the campus community knows what to do during various emergency situations.
The Emergency Procedures Guide, a spiral-bound, easy-reference handbook, provides step-by-step instructions on what one should to do when faced with potential emergencies such as bomb threat, chemical or hazardous waste spill, disturbance, fire, medical emergency, severe weather, active shooter and suspicious letter or package.
UW Oshkosh always has had emergency procedures in place; the manual serves as a helpful resource on the individual level, according to Vice Chancellor for Student Services Petra Roter.
“The Emergency Procedures Guide is a way of making sure that everyone knows what that plan is,” Roter said.
The guide will be distributed at the start of the fall semester to all University employees and will be on display in classrooms, administrative offices and residence halls.
A multichannel communications tool, the guide also will be available online for quick reference at www.uwosh.edu/emergency.
