Emergency planning
UBC has a range of emergency plans to prepare and protect the campus community and ensure a coordinated response to crises. Each plan addresses specific aspects of preparedness, response, and recovery to support the university during disruptive events.
UBC’s Emergency Management Plan
The Vancouver Campus Emergency Management Plan (EMP) provides a management framework to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies affecting the UBC Vancouver community. This plan identifies areas of emergency management responsibility and the organizational structure to deal with natural and human-induced hazards and risks that could affect the university and its surrounding community.
The EMP uses the standard emergency response approach of the British Columbia Emergency Management System, which is mandated for use within the Government of B.C. and recommended to local authorities, agencies and crown corporations. The new Vancouver Emergency Management Plan consolidates content from the old UBC Vancouver Emergency Response Plan and the UBC Crisis Management Plan.
UBC’s Seismic Resilience
Seismic resilience planning at UBC Vancouver campus, strives to reduce risk as much as possible, and as quickly as possible within the university’s logistical and financial capacity. For more information on how UBC is working to create a disaster-resilient university, visit UBC Facilities.
