FIU EMCOP POLICY STATEMENT

Florida International University faces the risks and consequences of natural, technological and operational emergencies that may result in serious consequences for the University community. In preparation for such occurrences, FIU has developed an Emergency Management and Continuity of Operations Plan (EMCOP) that outlines minimum emergency procedures that are intended to accomplish the following:

Where possible, prevent disasters
When disasters can not be prevented, mitigate the impact on the University community resulting from such occurrences
Provide a safe environment for University faculty, staff, students and all those to whom we provide services
Provide for continuity of operations for essential functions
Provide for continuity of academic and research functions

Assuring the continuity of Florida International University is implicit in our mission and requires the cooperation and involvement of all University personnel. The FIU Emergency Management and Continuity of Operations Plan is based on the requirements of F.S. 252 and is fully supported by all members of the FIU Executive Committee and the Executive Council.

Welcome to the Florida International University, Department of Emergency Management Website.

The Department of Emergency Management works to mitigate, plan and prepare for emergencies; educate the FIU community about preparedness; coordinate emergency response and recovery efforts and collect and disseminate critical information. Inherent in our mission is the continued operation of our University.

Thank you for visiting!
