Nebraska Extension and UNL’s Office of Emergency Preparedness and Planning encourage all Extension offices and Extension units to have plans in place for disasters and emergencies. Emergency action plans (EAP) outline the procedures and information staff can use in the event of an emergency. This includes office location, contact information, sheltering-in place, evacuation procedures and more.
This is the last submission window for 2025: September 1 – October 31, Zones 2, 3, and 5.
Resources are available online, including the updated template for EAPs. If you are using a template that was available prior to 2023, please go online and transition your office/unit plan into the newest version. Visit https://disaster.unl.edu/Emergency-Action-Plans
Remember, EAPs are living documents. While offices/units are asked to submit them on an annual basis for our organizational records, EAPs should be updated continually as the need arises (i.e. someone retires/resigns, someone new joins the office, change of office location, etc.). More details at: https://disaster.unl.edu
If you are in an area that has been impacted by a recent disaster event, please reach out to Soni Cochran, scochran2@unl.edu so we can make a note that your submission will be delayed.
