To be better prepared to respond to a pandemic outbreak, all UNL departments and units are asked to use this checklist to describe how your department or unit will operate during an influenza pandemic, and recover afterward to be fully operational.
This is each department's plan; feel free to augment this template to meet your needs. The process of planning for an emergency is very valuable. Be collaborative when drafting this, and seek comments from your staff and leadership. For detailed instructions and more information, call University Police at 472-4467.
For other information related to pandemic flu, see the University Health Center site.

In an emergency
During an emergency situation involving the campus, UNL's main Web site may convert to a low bandwidth version, free of the majority of graphics to ease transmission and server load. The emergency Web site will be a primary mode of communication, to be continually updated.
The UNL Emergency Site is located at http://emergency.unl.edu
During an emergency, our goal is to communicate first with those most immediately impacted; people who need to evacuate or seek medical treatment.
University Communications leads the communications response during and after emergencies, factually assessing each situation, developing the communications response, and assembling a crisis communications team. The goal is to provide accurate and timely information to minimize rumors and restore order and confidence.
During an emergency, the UNL community and general public may receive information through the Web, e-mail, telephone, and the media.
News information about current or recent emergencies on campus and updates on the University's emergency management activities. Members of the media (link to media emergency contact site) can find information 24/7. Up-to-date university information is provided at UNL Today.
