16.1 Scope and Authority

(Amended 9/20/24)

This policy establishes the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for the University of Iowa and assigns responsibilities for the development, implementation, and maintenance of the plan.

The EOP applies to all units of the University of Iowa and, as applicable, to University of Iowa Health Care. This plan is the basic framework for critical incident preparedness and response. It is not intended to cover every unit's individual needs. Therefore, we encourage any unit to supplement this plan to suit its own needs while remaining in compliance with the plan. Emergency action plans for UI buildings should include department information as applicable to each facility.
