Emergency Management's Role on Campus


The University of Colorado Denver Emergency Management exists to ensure a high level of preparedness and readiness for Denver's campus communities. 

Preparedness activities include: 

  • Campus-wide emergency planning
  • Preparedness for all schools and colleges during all phases of emergencies (preparedness, mitigation, response, recovery, and continuity of operations or COOP)
  • Education and outreach for all members of the campus community
  • Facilitation of training and exercises with campus partners and stakeholders
  • Collaboration and coordination with campus partners, as well as external stakeholders (other campuses, other universities, local, county, state, and federal partners) ​
  • Management and continued development of the campus Emergency Operations Center (EOC)

The CU Denver Emergency Management Division is here to assist all members of the campus community (students, faculty, and staff) with all of your preparedness needs. Please contact the division if you need assistance, information, or guidance on your preparedness activities.
