UDM Emergency Readiness Information

An emergency is an unplanned event that can shut down business operations, cause physical or environmental damage, or cause significant injury or death to employees, students or visitors.

The University response needs to be quick, professional, supportive, person-centered, and meet the emerging demands of any emergency or crisis situation. Since it is impossible to predict every scenario, an emergency plan must be able to adapt quickly to events as they unfold.

The Emergency Response Plan defines for the University of Detroit Mercy community the framework necessary to respond to emergencies. The UDM plan is designed to be flexible because an emergency may be sudden and without warning.
