Crisis Decision Team
The Crisis Decision Team (CDT) consists of members of UNCW senior management who are responsible for communicating during disaster situations to make administrative decisions regarding canceling classes, evacuations, closing the campus, notifications to the campus community and other decisions as dictated by the situation. The CDT will conduct emergency meetings to determine a course of action based on group discussion and information provided by support personnel. The CDT will also approve any major policy changes to emergency plans as suggested by the Emergency Operations Group. CDT members and their alternates must remain on call at all times and if at any time a CDT member cannot serve on the CDT for any reason, he/she must designate an alternate to attend meetings and make pertinent decisions in his/her absence.
Emergency Operations Group
The Emergency Operations Group (EOG) is a planning and operational body that was developed to ensure a consistency in acquisition and dissemination of information and resources, and to set the official UNCW response to emergencies. This group ensures continuity of basic university services and operations during protracted incidents that require a campus-wide response. The CDT seeks out the support, guidance, and advice of the EOG members in planning for and responding to disaster situations. The EOG is composed of university officials who will make operational decisions necessary to support a disaster response. Some EOG members will staff the UNCW Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for the duration of the disaster and will route communications through the EOC and make critical operation decisions as the situation warrants.
Disaster Resistant University (DRU) Council
The DRU Council ensures the pursuit of the DRU mission and visions of UNCW and to foster the development of a disaster resistance culture as a core value of the UNCW community. Membership of the DRU Council includes key UNCW emergency management staff as well as representatives from external entities and community stakeholders. The DRU Council meets several times a year to review and consider disaster resistant projects at UNCW.
