Florida International University faces the risks and consequences of natural, technological and operational emergencies that may result in serious consequences for the University community. In preparation for such occurrences, FIU has developed an Emergency Management Plan that outlines minimum emergency procedures that are intended to accomplish the following:

Where possible; prevent disasters, when disasters cannot be prevented; mitigate the impact on the University community from resulting from such occurrences and provide a safe environment for the University faculty, staff, students and all those to whom we provide services.

The FIU Emergency Management Plan requires the involvement of all University personnel and is wholly and fully supported by all members of the FIU Executive Committee and the Executive Council.
