All UTMB managers must ensure they are prepared to deal with all adverse situations such as severe weather or other situations causing
disruption of operations. In order to facilitate the required operational activities in the event of an emergency, a variety of resources
are available to assist you.
UTMB Emergency Operations is the online
home for the UTMB Emergency Operations
Plan, the Bioterrorism and Emerging Infectious
Diseases Readiness Plans, and related documents. It is the policy of UTMB to provide a framework for response to emergencies, internal or external, naturally occurring or man-made,
which will guide all staff in managing the event safely and assuring rapid recovery to normal operating conditions.
FirstCall is an emergency communication tool for the University
community during emergency conditions. This service is only activated in an emergency situation when there is a risk of significant harm or an
urgent threat. Although registration for this system is voluntary, it is highly recommended all employees register for this service.
Emergency Preparedness Employee Acknowledgement Form
This form is completed on an annual basis by all staff to designate which employees are essential and which are
