This handbook is intended to help staff, faculty, and students respond to emergency situations which may occur on the SDSM&T campus. Such emergencies can occur at any time and without warning, but their effects can be minimized if proper emergency procedures are established and followed.
The University is committed to the safety and security of all members of the SDSM&T community. In time of emergency, the University will provide appropriate campus-wide response to assure safety and minimize losses.
Emergency preparedness is also an individual responsibility. This handbook will serve as a quick reference for efficient action during emergencies, and should be kept in an easily accessible location at all times. All staff, faculty, and students should take time now to read and become familiar with the contents of the guide before an emergency occurs.
