Beat the Heat This July
Summer brings sunshine, outdoor events, and rising temperatures—but it also increases the risk of heat-related illness. Whether you’re on campus, traveling, or celebrating with family and friends, take a few moments to prepare before heading outside. Drink water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty, seek shade or air conditioning when possible, wear lightweight clothing, and apply sunscreen regularly. A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping you safe so you can enjoy everything summer has to offer.
Preparedness needs no invitation—just a plan and awareness. Together, we are WashUReady.
EPC and KMC program information
The Emergency Preparedness Coordinator (EPC) and Key Management Contact (KMC) program is a university-wide initiative, designed to help each department or school prepare to respond to emergencies on campus. Department managers should designate an EPC and KMC, who will attend trainings on how to assist with immediate response actions during an emergency.
Training
The focus of the Emergency Management Training Program is to provide appropriate and relevant training courses to personnel that may have roles and responsibilities in a disaster event.
