EPC and KMC Program Information
Four Phases of Emergency Management
The Emergency Preparedness Coordinator (EPC) and Key Management Contact (KMC) program is a university-wide initiative, designed to help each department or school prepare to respond to emergencies on campus. Department managers should designate an EPC and KMC, who will attend trainings on how to assist with immediate response actions during an emergency. For more information click here. For upcoming training click here.
The Washington University Emergency Management Department incorporates programs that address the four phases of emergency management to increase the university’s ability to respond to and recover from emergencies. These programs support the preparedness of faculty, staff, and students.
- Prevention/Mitigation – refers to measures that reduce the chance of an emergency happening, or reducing the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies.
- Preparedness – taking steps to increase our ability to respond in the event of an emergency. Preparedness activities include training, conducting exercises and developing plans.
- Response – occurs immediately before, during and after an incident. Response actions are aimed at saving lives and preserving property.
- Recovery – returns the community’s systems and activities to normal. Activities may include repairing damaged buildings, cleaning up debris and restoring basic services.
