Emergency Procedures

The University of Utah has implemented the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) as its unified, campus-wide approach to emergency communication and action. The SRP's simple, action-based directives support clear and consistent responses to situations ranging from weather events and medical issues to fires, accidents, and security threats. As appropriate, Campus Alert messages will contain SRP language and icons to ensure clear, standardized communication and to facilitate appropriate protective actions during emergency situations. For questions or comments, please contact Campus Emergency Management at 801-581-7200.
