Campus Safety

Safety Drills/Campus Emergency Operations Plan

Each facility safety team is responsible for developing and submitting by September 1st of each year the facility’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) to the District chief of police. All plans are required to contain detailed procedures on four response actions and two recovery actions. The response actions are evacuations, reverse evacuations, lockdowns, and shelter-in-place. The recovery actions are relocation and reunification. For assistance developing these actions, contact the District’s Emergency Management Bureau at emergency.management@austinisd.org. Information and resources on drills can be found through the following links:

• Safety Program/Risk Management Board Policy
