Policy on Disaster Risk Management and Emergency Response

The University is committed to developing resilient and responsive stakeholders who are prepared for natural hazards and can participate in disaster risk management. It aims to promote awareness and understanding of natural hazards like extreme weather and geo-hazards; improve the competencies of stakeholders in recognizing potential risks in their environment and responding to disasters as responsible, responsive, and resilient citizens; and train stakeholders on proper emergency responses to natural hazards, especially earthquakes, as well as to manmade hazards, such as fire and bomb threats.

To achieve these goals, the University will provide the necessary programs to promote and implement emergency protocols, training modules for disaster risk preparation, and proper administrative and technical support, and in the process, emphasize the roles of different stakeholders.
