Introduction

When we look back on the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we are reminded that no facility, organization, or community, including Stony Brook University, is immune from disaster.

Emergencies can arise at any time and from various natural or manmade causes. The best way to minimize potential loss and speed up the process of recovery from hurricanes, snow storms, fires, or terrorist acts is to plan ahead.

Moving forward from 9-11, Stony Brook University revised the campus Emergency Management Plan, created an Emergency Operations Center, and organized an Emergency Management Team. The team is trained to evaluate and respond to major emergency situations using the Incident Command System (ICS). ICS ensures effective management of the people, organizations, and resources utilized in response to emergencies.

To Report an Emergency:
If you become aware of a possible emergency situation, please call University Police at 911 or 333 from any campus phone, or 632-3333 using a cell phone (for campus emergencies).
