Emergency Management Plan

An “Emergency” is defined as situations or the threat of an impending situation, which abnormally affect the lives, health, safety, property or reputation of the University Community or which may be expected to adversely impact the operations or normal activities of the University. In order to protect students, staff, faculty and visitors, the University of Guelph requires a coordinated emergency response by a number of departments under the direction of the Campus Control Group (CCG). These are arrangements and procedures that are distinct from the normal, day to day operations carried out by campus emergency services. 

Every department and designated official must be prepared to carry out assigned responsibilities in an emergency. The Emergency Management Plan has been prepared to provide key officials and departments of the University of Guelph with important emergency response information related to: 

• Roles and responsibilities during an emergency, and  
• Arrangements, services and equipment.
