Building Emergency Teams

The Building Emergency Teams (BET) program is coordinated by Emergency Management and consist of volunteer campus employees. They are trained and responsible for the safe and rapid evacuation of campus buildings, as well as to perform any related safety duties in the event of an emergency.

• How is BET Structured?

  • The BET organizational structure [pdf] consists of building coordinators and building team members. Building Coordinators (BC) are responsible for overseeing a specific campus building and the building's Building Emergency Team (BET). BET Members are responsible for overseeing a specific floor or area of the building.

    Building Coordinators work with first responders to evacuate buildings. Building Emergency Team members report directly to their coordinators.
