Guiding Principles:

• Comprehensive: Consider and take into account all hazards, all phases (e.g. mitigation, loss prevention, response, continuity of operations and recovery), all stakeholders and all impacts relevant to crisis and disasters.

• Progressive: Anticipate future risks and vulnerability and take preventive and preparatory measures to build a disaster-resilient and sustainable campus.
• Risk / Data driven: Use sound risk management principles (hazard identification, risk analysis, and impact analysis) and data in assigning priorities and resources.
  
• Integrated: Ensure unity of effort among all levels of administration and all elements of the campus community.
  
• Collaborative: Create and sustain broad and sincere relationships among individuals and organizations to encourage trust, advocate a team atmosphere, build consensus, and facilitate communication.
  
• Coordinated: Synchronize the activities of all relevant stakeholders to achieve a common purpose.
  
• Productive: Generate results, benefits and products to protect the mission of the university.  
  Flexible: Use creative and innovative approaches to problem solving.
  

Goals:

• Promote a risk-aware culture without creating a risk-averse climate.
• Assess vulnerability and exposure and proactively reduce losses.
• Protect life, property, the environment, essential services, and mission critical facilities.
• Support quick resumption of University core mission (education, research, and service) and business systems.
• Increase cooperation and communication within the community through the planning process, training, and exercising.
