Purpose
In compliance with federal and state regulations, SUNY Empire State College (SUNY EMPIRE) maintains an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). While this EOP is focused primarily on the response to any campus emergency, it also guides coordination of all phases of emergency management operations to minimize the impact of emergencies on campus operations, community members and property.
