In the Provident Living Survey you took a few months ago,
some respondents shared that their school has their emergency preparedness
under control. Before you go assuming that your school has a giant fault of
food storage somewhere underneath the campus, check out its emergency
preparedness tools here.
Boston University
BU has designated emergency assembly areas like the GSU and
Agganis arena. They have also provided information on disaster supplies kits,
which should be prepared in case of an emergency. The medical campus also has
emergency assembly areas (click on the “Emergency Assembly Areas” sub link on
the right side of the page).
Harvard
Harvard has a slew of information, including checklists for
each type of natural disaster, evacuation plans, and information for business
and departments to help them be disaster ready. Much of the information is
password-secured, so feel free to peruse on your own!
Boston College
BC has a print-out PDF that contains an overview of
disasters than can happen in the area, helpful phone numbers, evacuation
procedures, and an emergency supply kit checklist.
Emerson
Be sure to update your contact information on Emerson’s
Emergency Notification System (ENS), so the school can communicate with you in
the event of the disaster. Also check out the evacuation plan for each building
on campus, and the PDF Emergency Response Guide for various disaster
situations. Emerson also has awesome safety resources like a police escort
service and self-defense classes.
MIT
Update your contact information on MIT Alert and prepare and
emergency kit from the list. Also, be sure you check out shelter-in-place and
evacuation info.
Northeastern
Be sure to update your contact information on Northeastern’s
alert system. Also, check out Northeastern University’s Public Safety Division
(the link is halfway down the page) for health and safety resources. (For
example, did you know there is a BBQ Request Form? True Story).
Tufts
Check out Tuft’s comprehensive and easily-navigable
Emergency Response Guide. You can even request a paper copy of the guide. Oh,
and don’t forget to like TuftsReady on Facebook.
