EPC and KMC program information
The Emergency Preparedness Coordinator (EPC) and Key Management Contact (KMC) programs help departments and schools across WashU support a safe, prepared campus. EPCs help coordinate departmental emergency preparedness and assist with immediate response actions, while KMCs coordinate key management and building access needs. Department managers should designate a representative for each role to participate in training and serve as a resource for their department. Explore each program below to learn more about responsibilities, training, and available resources.
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.
