Stockton University has in place an Emergency Operations Plan, which is an all-hazards approach to planning for a disaster or other emergency event or incident. The Emergency Operations Plan establishes the framework for responses to emergencies, incidents, and planned events throughout Stockton University’s campuses and properties.

The Emergency Operations Plan was developed based on Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 5. University agencies or departments that have
responsibilities delineated in the Emergency Operations Plan will use the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS allows and ensures proper coordination between local, state, and federal organizations in emergency response. In addition, the Incident Command System (ICS) will be utilized in all on scene management of emergency events. The Emergency Operations Plan is tested annually by the University. ‐
