Emergency Management

The UAPD Emergency Management team is responsible for creating a more resilient campus. We offer preparedness trainings on topics, such as Emergency Preparedness on Campus. The program lengths and descriptions are provided below, but they can be modified to fit your needs. We also assist in creating departmental or building specific emergency plans, such as Building Emergency Action Plans. If you are looking to grow your preparedness efforts, please contact Emergency Manager, Jessica Post, via email at jsanborn@uark.edu.

We offer a variety of training over various preparedness topics:

Building Emergency Action Plan Training: (60 minutes) This training will train building occupants on their respective Building Emergency Action Plan. It will cover procedures for fire, severe weather, and active threats.

Emergency Preparedness on Campus: (60 minutes) In this training we will talk about how we can prepare and respond to the most common emergencies.

Stop the Bleed: (90 minutes) A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes. Thus, it is critically important to quickly stop blood loss. Those nearest to someone with a bleeding injury can make a life-saving difference if they are adequately trained to provide first care.
This course offers training in basic bleeding control techniques such as direct pressure, wound packing and tourniquet application. The course is appropriate and encouraged for the general public.

 

Heartsaver CPR/AED: (4 Hours) The Heartsaver CPR AED course trains participants to give CPR, and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) in a safe, timely, and effective manner. Reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).

Tabletop Exercises: (1.5-2 hours) We can plan and facilitate tabletop exercises where team members meet in an informal, classroom setting to discuss their roles during an emergency and their responses to a particular emergency situation.

Incident Command System Training: (90 minutes) ICS is a management system UAPD and other first response agencies use.  We provide this training to departments who wish to be familiar with incident management.

Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE): (4 hours) This training is a more in depth review of past active shooter events, how people responded and survived those events.  Students will practice what they learned and how to Avoid, Deny, Defend.
