We can't prevent natural disasters, but we can be ready for them. Tornadoes, thunderstorms, flooding, hurricanes, and drought can bring on devastation and a sense of helplessness to families and businesses. Being prepared before the disaster strikes can help to mitigate the effects of disaster. During chemical spills, biological incidents and other man made disasters, we need to know when and where to shelter in place and when to evacuate. Training, education and collaboration are key elements for preparedness and safety of our university community, neighborhoods and business communities.
At The University of Texas at Dallas, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is committed to create a prepared university community of faculty, staff and students through collaborative disaster preparedness and response/recovery training and education. Our goal is to create awareness and provide proactive solutions so they can help themselves, their families and others in the next disaster.
