It’s National Emergency Preparedness Month!

September is National Emergency Preparedness Month, which is the perfect time for our campus community to plan for emergencies. We encourage all students, faculty, and staff to take a few minutes to ensure they are ready for any situation that may arise. Here’s how you can get started:

1. Use Towson University’s Emergency Response Guide
   Our TU Emergency Response Guide provides critical information on how to respond during emergencies on campus. It’s a must-read for everyone. Access the guide here: Emergency Response Guide
2. Read our Emergency Pocket Guide
   If you’re short on time, this compact guide offers our abbreviated emergency instructions, and phone numbers for vital services. It’s perfect for posting on your refrigerator or bulletin board. Get your copy here: Emergency Pocket Guide
3. Watch Our Emergency Preparedness Video

4. Make a Personal Emergency Plan
   Your plan should include registration for emergency alerts, alternative shelter arrangements, evacuation routes, and an emergency communication strategy for your family and friends. Get tips on creating your plan here: FEMA: Make a Plan
5. Build a Basic Disaster Kit
   Your kit should include essentials such as a first aid kit, flashlight, extra batteries, and chargers for your devices. Learn how to build your kit here: FEMA: Build a Kit
