University Emergency Management

University Emergency Management

Harvard's emergency management structure scales to an emergency's the needs. It consists of Local Emergency Management Teams (LEMTs), Emergency Support Functions (ESFs), and a Harvard-wide Crisis Management Team (CMT).

LEMTs provide local leadership and implement Harvard policies all emergency situations, where necessary.

ESFs support schools and departments, consisting of Harvard central resources.

The Crisis Management Team (CMT), led by the Executive Vice President, provides executive leadership during university-wide emergencies.
