Joe Monroe, Chief of Police for University of Kentucky, presents on how the nation’s colleges and universities can prepare to respond to various types of operational interruptions. Campuses face a variety of risks that can disrupt teaching, research, extension services, and healthcare. These risks can be all-encompassing, localized, or personal. Because disasters often cause loss of life, loss of income, property damage and adversely affect individuals and families, universities must make plans to continue their core functions as seamlessly as possible.

Given the high level of risk at the UTMB Campus, we work to eliminate the subjectivity of the risk assessment process as much as possible and to quantify that risk where possible. The risk assessment process is the foundation of UTMB's Preparedness Program and it affords officials the the best information to optimize preparedness and respond to incidents. An overview of the Preparedness Program will be provided - looking at specific examples of risk quantification including hurricanes and chemical incidents (Hydrofluoric Acid incidents in particular).
