To ensure the safety and continuity of operations at Sonoma State University, a number of programs have been designed to prepare the University for an emergency and to educate students, faculty and staff what to do if they are on campus when an emergency occurs.
Employee Training
University-wide training for employees regarding their individual roles in an emergency and steps they can take to ensure their personal safety and the safety of property will begin soon.
CERT Training (Community Emergency Response Team)
Select individuals train in basic disaster response skills, including basic search and rescue, fire safety, first aid with an emphasis on team operations.
Emergency Training includes First Aid and CPR
Building Marshall Program
Building Marshals are employees who have been designated in all SSU buildings to assist Police Services in the event of an emergency. Building Marshals assist in evacuations and act as the liaison to Police Services after an emergency and during drills.
SSU Emergency Response Plan
The CSU Board of Trustees requires all campuses to implement an Emergency Response Plan consistent with state regulations. Currently, SSU is transitioning our current SEMS program (Standardized Emergency Management System) with the nationally utilized NIMS program (National Incident Management System).
