Preparedness at Home
Whether you work at OSU, attend classes here or have a child that is a Buckeye, we all need to be prepared for the unexpected at home.

Like many staff members, you may be expected to report to work to assist with the response or cleanup during an emergency. If you are well prepared at home, you will not be as worried about your family while you are at work.

Below, there are multiple resources that will help you be better prepared. We also have a significant amount of information available on our Resources and Links page.

There are several steps to planning for an emergency. Make sure you include all of the basics:

Create a Plan

Have Food and Wateravailable for emergency use.

Know what to do when power goes out. (More information is available HERE)

Create a Disaster Supplies Kit (More information is also available for Students and for Workplace preparedness)

Don't forget about your Pets (You can find additional information HERE)

Always remember to check on the Elderly, those who are Disabled and those with Special Needs)


If you need additional help putting together a plan or you have questions, please call us at 614-247-4911 or email us at emergencymanagement@dps.ohio-state.edu.
