UCD Emergency Preparedness:
The University of Colorado Denver’s Police Department has recently added an Emergency Preparedness component to the Department. This office is charged with the planning, implementation and training for emergency preparedness for University of Colorado Denver’s three campuses (Anschutz Medical Campus, 9th & Colorado Campus, and Downtown Denver Campus). Stuart Pike is the coordinator and Essi Ellis is the assistant coordinator.
Emergency preparedness has many aspects, and perhaps the most important is our personal safety and security. As we work on campus, it is imperative that you wear your ID card where it can be seen and courteously challenge strangers that do not display an ID. In addition each employee or student should become familiar with your department’s or buildings emergency plan and evacuation routes. Identify fellow employees that may need assistance during an evacuation and create informal buddy teams that you can group into when responding to an unfamiliar situation. Be aware that anything can happen at any time. Severe weather, power outages, fire, hazardous materials incidents, civil unrest, terrorist activity, hostage or shooting events, are just a few of the emergency situations that any or all of our campus could face. Are you prepared? Do you know what to do?
Another very important topic is family preparedness. There are a number of simple and inexpensive things you can do to make your family more prepared. Visit the website of Ready Colorado at www.readycolorado.com for an excellent overview of family preparedness and a series of checklists that you will find helpful in preparing your family for an emergency.
If you have any emergency preparedness questions or concerns, feel free to contact Stuart Pike at (303) 724-0148, Essi Ellis at (303) 724-1031, or your department’s or school’s Emergency Management Operations Group (EMOG) representative:
