Abstract

There is a paucity of literature on disaster preparedness and response in higher education. The purpose of this chapter is to apply the lessons learned over several decades in healthcare and apply appropriate lessons to higher education institutions. Topics covered include disaster mitigation, disaster planning, disaster response, and recovery. By applying lessons from healthcare, university leaders can craft robust emergency plans and conduct effective exercises that can reduce injury, loss of life, and property damage during an actual disaster.
