Emergency Preparedness

Tennessee Technological University is committed to protecting the health and safety of all students, staff, faculty and visitors at all university facilities. In conjunction with this commitment is the inherent responsibility for minimizing any danger to life and property resulting from the effects of explosions, hazardous waste spills, fire, natural disaster or other events. When an emergency occurs, an immediate organized response by university personnel will be activated. The TTU Emergency/Disaster Response Plan (EDRP) establishes the framework from which the university will provide this response. Our efforts in this area will only be effective through a cooperative effort by all university staff, faculty, and students.

All personnel are encouraged to provide suggestions for improving this Plan.

NEW! Cell Phone Text Messaging System TTU will soon implement an emergency warning system called mobileTTU that will allow the university to alert students, faculty and staff of an emergency situation with a cell phone text message. The system will ONLY be used for emergency announcements or when it is being tested. It will NOT be used for general university announcements or messages. While we will continue to use the other notification systems we have in place, the text messaging system will provide one more way to alert you no matter where you are. If you would like to be included in this system, you will need to provide your cell phone information as described in below. To ensure the accuracy and the security of your private information, we are asking you to input the information yourself in the Eagle Online information system (for students) or the Banner Self Service system (for faculty and staff). Instructions for: Students Faculty and Staff
