Emergency response at Pacific is managed by the Pacific Alert Team, a team designed to strengthen the protection of lives and property during major emergency events on any of the three campuses within the University of the Pacific and to assist students, faculty and staff members when faced with personal emergencies on a University of the Pacific campus and/or within the community.
- Concern for students, employees, and the local community
- Quick Response
- Protection of University property
- Restoration of normal operations to the University
- Effective communication to appropriate groups
- Preparation for emergencies
Pacific Alert Team operates under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) model in disaster response and emergency management. The team receives continual training in critical issues that affect higher education institutions nationally and how they impact the Pacific community. The team attends training exercises each year in table top exercises or an emergency simulation to meet the requirements of the Department of Education. These exercises range from fires, hazardous waste, active shooter, smoke and a variety of other potential disaster situations. They are done in conjunction with the community first responders to ensure proper communication between the teams.
