Emergency Management Procedures

The JBU back-of-door Emergency Response Guide is a guide to provide John Brown University faculty, staff and students with an emergency and crisis management system when responding to major disasters or disturbances to the campus. All personnel designed to carry out specific responsibilities are trained to know and understand the University’s policies and procedures. The Emergency Response Guide was created to meet the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standard 29 CFR 1910.38: Emergency Action Plan.

The Crisis Response Team is designed to effectively coordinate using University and community resources to protect life and property both during and immediately following a major crisis or disturbance on or near JBU. It shall be placed into operation whenever an emergency affecting the University cannot be controlled using daily operation procedures.

Emergency Test and Evacuation Drills

JBU participates in emergency tests or evacuation drills to assess and evaluate emergency procedures and capabilities. The evacuation drills, tabletop exercises, and emergency preparedness training are done in partnership with the Campus Safety Department and with the City of Siloam Springs Police Department and Fire Department if needed.
