How Fire Safety Connects to Emergency Preparedness

Western's Emergency Management Framework

Western's emergency management program supports planning and preparedness, coordinated response, continuity, and recovery during emergencies and significant disruptions.

Depending on the incident, response may involve multiple Western departments, external emergency services, and community partners.

Fire Safety's Role

Western Fire Safety supports fire prevention, building fire safety planning, inspections, training, drills, evacuation preparedness, and related fire and life safety requirements.

These activities contribute to Western's broader campus emergency preparedness and response framework.
