Emergency Preparedness and Response
A Prepared University of Alberta For Tomorrow.
The Emergency Management Team has four missions:
- To prepare pre-identified teams of skilled and experienced responders with plans and resources,for foreseeable emergencies that will require central coordination.
- To ensure supervisors and leaders Reduce, Ready for, Respond to, and Recover from events that could interrupt research,teaching, events, or University administration; harm the University’s reputation or the environment; or cause fatalities or serious injuries; with effective tools, training, awareness, notification and advice.
- To support a thriving student body experience that is student-led, risk-tolerant, sustainable, and encourages community and social development.
- To be a leader for a more resilient and less vulnerable society through education, advice, and mutual aid.
Elements of Emergency Management
There are four critical elements of emergency management:
- Reduction

We refer to these elements as the "4 Rs." In an emergency, make sure you know What you should do and What the University does.
