News and Announcements
Welcome
Welcome to our new department and website. On July 1, 2018, Emergency Management became a department within the Division of Student Affairs. Previously, the emergency management program resided within Environmental Health and Safety. We will continue to offer the same range of services as before and invite you to take a look around. View our contact information to learn more about us.

Emergency Management is seeking a full-time Deputy Director. This newly-created position will join the small team (Director, Student Employee) to rapidly address a number of priorities, including Continuity of Operations Planning. We are seeking an energetic, driven leader who is passionate in wanting to build a culture of preparedness within the University community.

Large-Scale Medical Exercise in September
On September 14, the McLean County Health Department and the University will host a large emergency exercise at Redbird Arena. The exercise will focus on an Anthrax release in Chicago and the need to provide medications to everyone in the area. We’ll be looking for 300 people to serve as actors.
Recap of U-High Reunification Exercise
In April 2018, we conducted a full-scale relocation and reunification exercise involving U-High parents, students and teachers and administrators. This first-of-its-kind exercise brought together 360 parents and students, 50 employees and 100 observers from throughout Illinois to test what happens after the major emergency occurs.
