Emergency Plan - Situation Management

In its effort to provide a safe and secure environment for its students, staff and faculty, Gustavus Adolphus College has prepared emergency policies and procedures. Its purpose is to quickly assess emergency situations and, if necessary, to immediately notify the campus community of significant emergencies and/or dangerous situations involving immediate threats. Additionally, the goal of this manual is to avoid (through prevention) potentially hazardous situations, to minimize injuries and damages (through mitigation) when disaster strikes, and to resume normal operations (recovery) as soon as possible in the aftermath of an emergency.
