Emergency Preparedness

At Stanford, planning ahead for emergencies is part of normal business planning and campus life, and all members of the Stanford community share a responsibility for preparedness. An emergency can strike anytime or anywhere, and a disaster will affect everyone.

All employees and students have a personal responsibility for knowing what to do before, during, and after an emergency to protect their safety and their work.

The School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences has put together list of resources to assist you in planning in the event of an emergency at work and at home.
