Emergency Operations Planning

Middle Tennessee State University is exposed to many natural and technological hazards that have the potential for disrupting normal campus operations, damaging university facilities, and causing casualties. These hazards include: earthquake, tornado, flood, terrorism, civil disturbance, winter storm, hazardous materials accident, power failure, infectious disease pandemic, and nuclear attack. The general types of emergency situations are emergencies that disrupt normal campus operations or endanger the safety, health, and well-being of the campus community within the confines of the MTSU campus or involved MTSU facility; emergencies that occur in the Murfreesboro-Rutherford County area that disrupt normal campus operations or endanger the safety, health, and well-being of the campus community; and emergencies that occur anywhere in the United States that disrupt normal campus operations or endanger the safety, health, and well-being of the campus community.

The Emergency Operations Plan outlines the University’s response to emergency events that may occur on campus.
