About
The UC Santa Cruz Faculty Emergency Preparedness Guide is a detailed resource designed to empower faculty members and others in instructional roles (such as Teaching Assistants and Graduate Student Instructors) with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate campus emergencies.
This document provides supplemental guidance, focusing on faculty leadership during emergencies, with specific attention to classroom and research activities. Physical copies of the Emergency Response Guides are available upon request.
