Policy Updates

Following the growth of the Emergency Management & Continuity of Operations (EMCO) program, a decision was made to split the existing Emergency Management & Continuity of Operations (EMCO) Policy into two separate policies that fall under the Office of Risk Management:

Emergency Management Policy

The Emergency Management Policy identifies key roles and responsibilities of campus stakeholders in supporting the safety of our community members; protecting property and the environment; safeguarding research, data, infrastructure, and the university’s reputation; and mitigating interruptions to business processes and service functions.

This policy applies to all Carleton University departments, faculty, staff, students, visitors, and any others participating in emergency management efforts.

Business Continuity and Resilience Policy

The purpose of the Business Continuity and Resilience Policy is to ensure the stability and recoverability of critical business functions during any incident that disrupts business operations. This policy guides the framework, roles and responsibilities, and requirements for business continuity activities and processes at Carleton University.

This policy applies to all business functions and services of Carleton University and to all members involved in the delivery and maintenance of those functions and services.
