Emergency Preparedness
The information contained in this site provides the OLLU community with guidance to help them prepare for potential emergency situations. Information includes tips and tools on how to avoid or manage an emergency, what actions to take during an emergency and how to stay informed before, during and after an event.
Emergency Response Team
OLLU has an Emergency Response Team (ERT) that is made up of administrators and staff members from all divisions across campus. The ERT meets regularly to review university policies, procedures and practices related to emergency situations.
The ERT conducts regular exercises or drills to prepare the team and the university community for potential crises.
Members of the OLLU community are asked to prepare for emergency situations by:
- Reporting any suspicious activity immediately to campus authorities.
- Getting acquainted with the procedures to follow in the event of an emergency.
- Make sure their contact information is up to date so they will receive notifications during an emergency. Notifications are sent via text, email, telephone speakers (on campus), exterior speaker systems (on the San Antonio campus), and calls to cell and home phone numbers.
