Emergencies – Who Does What
• Officers respond to all emergencies• When a threat is confirmed, the siren system is activated• Generally, the initial campus wide emergency message is
sent out by police, but others could do it• Depending upon the nature of the emergency UNCWPD’s
partners are EH&S, H&RL, Facilities, ODOS and others• Once UPD has transferred the responsibility, follow-up
and all clear messages go through Office University Relations

Emergencies – How Does It Come Together• Officers respond to and evaluate the situation that they
encounter – notifications sent up the chain of command• Incident command is set up• Crisis Decision Team (Chancellor, cabinet members, etc.)
members are briefed• Emergency Operations Center is activated• Resources are allocated• The most appropriate resolution is sought• We give priority to actions and incidents in the following order:• life safety• property security• program continuation
