Continuity Planning

What would your department do if faced with loss of access to your physical office space? How would you operate without power or IT resources? What if a disease outbreak severely limited your staffing? How would you manage despite a disruption? The Department of Campus Safety can help. To learn more about continuity planning or ask any questions, please call 212.992.5648.

What is a Continuity Plan?

The very nature of an emergency is its ability to suddenly pose disruption. While we cannot control when and where emergencies will occur, we can manage our ability to continue or quickly restore operations. Having a continuity plan helps minimize the impact of an emergency on a department and on the university as a whole.

In an emergency, NYU students, faculty and staff should follow the instructions of first responders and campus authorities. Once in a safe and secure location, departments should activate their continuity plans.
