Emergency Response Guide

Message from President Freeman

At NIU, we pride ourselves on our emergency preparedness. It is woven into the fabric of day-to-day life on campus, such as the extensive training opportunities in emergency-response skills that include basic life support (CPR) and first aid.

However, there are things that all of us can do to better prepare for emergencies so that we are all prepared to react quickly and effectively when they arise. The university’s Emergency Response Guide provides basic information and recommended responses to a wide array of potential emergencies. I am asking all supervisors to review this content with your employees and discuss the sections that specifically pertain to the building(s) used by your department. Thorough review and complete information are keys to effective emergency planning at all levels, and I ask that all employees take this task seriously.

Thank you for contributing your time and effort to helping make NIU a safe and secure campus.
