About Emergency Preparedness

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.

By taking small and large steps before the event happens that will reduce the damage and enhance the campus' ability to bounce back. By planning ahead how we will re-start interrupted courses, re-open laboratories, and re-establish critical support services as quickly as possible. By making preparedness part of the campus culture.
