School of Public Health and Health Professions building evacuation procedures:

The School of Public Health and Health Professions maintains office, classroom, and research space in several buildings on the South Campus. The ERT is available to assist SPHHP staff in any location; however, each building maintains its own evacuation procedures.

For evacuation procedures in:

The SPHHP has an Emergency Response Team that is charged with coordinating efforts to maintain a safe and secure learning and work environment. In collaboration with University Police Services and UB Emergency Preparedness, the School's Team helps to prepare the school for emergency situations arising from fire, weather, violence or aggression, or any other emergency (including first response for physical or mental health emergencies). This preparation, a proactive one, provides advance planning for these emergency situations and includes ongoing evaluation of our procedures and resources.

The Team is comprised of several coordinators:
