Emergency Preparedness and the Office of Business Continuity Planning
The Office of Business Continuity Planning coordinates our campus' efforts to prepare and recover from significant disruptions in University and auxiliary operations.
Many types of events can cause such disruption - earthquakes, fires, floods, human-caused events both deliberate and accidental. In the worst case, any of these disasters could significantly disrupt Sacramento State's instruction and other activities for weeks or months.
How to mitigate the impact of such disruptions and return to normal operations with least time lost? By regarding these events as expected, rather than unexpected.
Making preparedness part of the campus culture and taking small and large steps before an event happens will reduce the impact of the event and will enhance the campus' ability to bounce back afterward. It is important to plan ahead how we will re-start interrupted courses, re-open labs, and re-establish critical support services as quickly as possible.
These pages describe our campus' many-pronged efforts to prepare, and help you to know how YOU can do your part.
