Building Emergency Plans
Purpose
An Area Emergency Plan is a plan specific to a work area in an emergency. UNM EHS, in collaboration with campus stakeholders, has been working to ensure that every part of campus is covered by a plan.
Training
Training is now available on Learning Central; please look for the Unit Emergency Coordinator Training (HSC 800-001). If you are unable to find it or need help, please contact our office.
