Preparing for Inevitable Water Events: How University of Tennessee Knoxville Built a Better Response Plan

In today’s changing landscape of risks and challenges – from intensifying weather patterns to rising insurance costs – it is crucial for education institutions to continually assess and refine emergency response plans. Water intrusions from weather, equipment malfunctions, and human error are frequent causes of property loss and learning disruptions. Through a case study presented by the Assistant Director of Operations from the University of Tennessee Knoxville, this workshop will cover critical areas where response plans often fall short and provide proven, actionable steps to bridge these gaps.

1. Understand the importance of responding quickly and effectively when water damage occurs

2. Identify gaps in campus disaster preparedness and response plans, and assess potential consequences on resilience and recovery

3. Apply proven strategies and best practices to address and mitigate these gaps effectively

4. Utilize actionable tools to build effectiveness and empower teams to navigate time-critical situations
