Building Specific Emergency Action Plans
As of May 26, 2023, intake and processing of Building Specific Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) are handled by MUPD. This page, housed by EHS, remains the resource page for EAPs.
Please note it takes 7-10 working days after MUPD receives your EAP for it to appear on MU Alert.
Completed Building Emergency Action Plans and Evacuation Maps (link to MU Alert website)
Building supervisors, occupants, and the building coordinators should develop, administer, and update a Building Specific Emergency Action Plan using the template below. The Building Specific Emergency Action Plan prepares building occupants to maximize the preservation of life, environment, property, and equipment.
It is critically important to note these plans are BUILDING SPECIFIC, which means a plan can only cover one building. That means buildings often grouped together for other reasons (e.g., Lewis & Clark) should have separate EAPs so they can be found individually at MU Alert by anyone on campus at any time.
The plan covers emergency contact lists & communication, delegation of responsibilities, evacuation notification system, emergency lighting and equipment, primary and secondary evacuation routes, assembly points, accounting for personnel, for a wide variety of emergencies.
MUPD is available to provide assistance in the completion of the template. Professional evacuation plans (maps) will be generated with a team from Space Planning & Management and the MU Fire Marshal.

Instructions for Completing Emergency Action Plan Template
The following will help you complete the EAP Template. The EAP template should be treated as a living document that requires periodic update to ensure all information is correct. The EAP template requires the use of Microsoft Office.
Main Body of Template (completing these three items is mandatory for all plans)
- On the opening page, insert the Building Name in the Title.
- On section 1.a.i, select one means of fire notification that applies.
- On section 1.b.ii, insert the primary and secondary assembly point.
Appendix A: Maps including Emergency Evacuation Route
- The MU Fire Marshall will generate the Evacuation Plans when the completed EAP template is submitted to MUPD. MUPD will post the completed EAP and evacuation routes electronically, separate from each other for easy access.

Appendix B: Emergency Contacts & Duty Information
- Enter the name and contact information for the Building Coordinator and at least one other person. (This information will not be shared with the public.)

Appendix C: Zone /Floor Monitor Contact Information
Use this appendix if the size of your building requires dividing the building into zones to assist occupants in the implementation of the Emergency Action Plan. (This appendix should be viewed as a tool. It is not mandatory. It will not be shared with the public.)
