Crisis Management Preparedness Team (CMPT)
EMU’s Crisis Management Preparedness Team 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 of several campus teams that are safety- and crisis-oriented. (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.
Especially for parents
EMU makes communication with parents of students top priority in the event of crises.
