Emergency Preparedness
Texas A&M University is a partner with Brazos County and with the
Cities of Bryan, College Station in the Brazos County Interjurisdictional
Emergency Management Plan. We are also involved with the regional
emergency response plan for the Brazos Valley Region consisting of
the seven counties: Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson
and Washington. Links to these plans are provided in the Useful Links
section below.
The Environmental Health and Safety Department (EHSD) and the Office
of Safety and Security have primary responsibility for emergency
preparedness at Texas A&M. Duties and responsibilities range from
working with departments to write and exercise building evacuation plans
to developing and maintaining emergency plans as required by regulation
and as otherwise deemed necessary to augment and implement the Brazos
County Plan. The primary university plan is the broad-based Texas A&M
Crisis Management Plan. Attached to that plan are detailed response
guides to many specific events from hurricane sheltering operations to
pandemic influenza.
A set of emergency protocols has been developed that are intended to
provide guidance for the general public in the event of foreseeable
emergencies. This Emergency Protocol, Quick Reference Guide and each of
those emergency plans may be accessed online by links provided in the
TAMU Plan and Guidance Documents section below.
