What are RITs emergency procedures and protocols?
RIT has a tested emergency response plan that can be used to respond to any emergency. It patterns the U.S. Department of Homeland Securitys national incident management model. In executing this plan, RIT takes steps to protect the health and welfare of the campus community. RIT Public Safety staff is on campus 24 hours per day. RIT has an established Critical Incident Management Program, which allows for the rapid mobilization of personnel in case of emergencies. This infrastructure involves key leaders on campus and is based on incident command system protocols. It should be noted that RIT works with local law enforcement and governmental agencies in such planning. This includes the Monroe County Sheriffs Office and the Monroe County Office of Emergency Preparedness. Throughout the year, RIT personnel train on various crisis scenarios.
