Crisis Management Preparedness Team

Read about the spring 2013 mumps outbreak in Virginia

EMU’s Crisis Management Preparedness Team (CMPT) has been in operation since spring 2006, when President Loren Swartzendruber formed the group and tasked its members with creating a comprehensive crisis preparedness plan.

CMPT is one part several campus teams that are safety- and crisis-oriented in nature. See a diagram of those teams and their functions.

CMPT meets monthly to review policies and safety plans, discuss crisis scenarios and drills, review communication plans, and process all things related to potential campus crises. This includes reviewing systems and processes related to the possible need to recess for a pandemic flu outbreak.

Especially for parents

EMU will make communication with parents of students top priority in the event of a crisis.
