50.00 POLICY ON
CAMPUS EMERGENCIES
50.00
The California Emergency Plan is promulgated
in accordance with the provisions of the Act,
and provides statewide authority and responsibility,
and describes the functions and operations of
government at all levels during extraordinary
emergencies, including wartime. Article 1, Section
8550 of the California Emergency Services Act
states, in part, that one purpose of the Act
is "to provide for the rendering of mutual
aid by the state government and all its departments
and agencies and by the political subdivisions
of this state." UCI, as a campus of the
only State of California land grant university
system, is considered to be a special entity
of the State of California and under the California
Emergency Services Act should be considered
an extension of the State Emergency Operations
Plan.
Preparedness Planning, Training and
Exercises for UCI Faculty , Students, and Staff
1. Basic steps for personal, home,
and campus earthquake safety.
2. Training and exercises for first
response teams and operations zone captains.
