Northern Illinois University
Department of Police and Public Safety

The Emergency Response Guide is a quick and easy reference with basic information on how to handle different emergency situations. The information provided is given to every employee on campus and is displayed on the wall in each room on campus as a guide on how to handle these circumstances should they arise.

NIU managers are encouraged to hold a meeting to review this guide with the members of their department. During this meeting, please complete the emergency information for your building. Our Community Relations Officer is available to attend your meeting to answer any questions.

The NIU Department of Police and Public Safety is trained to respond to all of the situations covered in the Emergency Response Guide. Contact us with any questions you have about the Emergency Response Guide. For more emergency information including important phone numbers, please visit NIU’s Emergency Information site.
