LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A Message to the University Community about Emergency Preparedness


Welcome to The George Washington University community! As we are about to start the new academic year, this is a good opportunity to learn about the emergency policies and procedures of the University. This is especially important as we welcome new and returning students, faculty and staff to GW.

Your most important source of up-to-date information on the University and incident planning is the GW Campus Advisories Web page. Located at the University Web site at www.gwu.edu, the page features emergency procedures, preparedness tips, health and safety advisories, and useful resource links. The GW Campus Advisories Web page can also be reached from links on GWired, University Police Department, myGW, GW NewsCenter, Colonial Mail, WRGW and Parents Services Web sites. If you’ve never visited the site before or haven’t been there recently, you’ll notice useful features. Please take some time to check it out: read up on preparedness tips; check out our navigation toolbar; and review the Incident Planning, Response and Recovery Manual. Also, we invite you to send us an E-mail at opsem@gwu.edu with any questions, comments or suggestions to help us to serve you better.

—John N. Petrie
Assistant Vice President for Public Safety and Emergency Management
