The emergency procedures described in this guide are to help protect Cumberland University lives and property through the effective use of university and community resources. If an emergency cannot be handled by routine measures, the President, the Vice President of Facilities and Infrastructure , or their designee may declare a state of emergency at which time the emergency procedures and their guidelines may be implemented. Since an emergency may be sudden and without warning; therefore, these procedures are designed to be flexible in order to accommodate contingencies of various types and magnitudes. These procedures apply to all personnel, buildings and grounds operated by Cumberland University.
