purchases through U Stores front end and is approving
such purchases
DEHS will be directing major vendors to accept orders
only through EFS/U Stores
No COI Purchases with P-Cards or PO!

Communications with Mike Austin, Assistant
Director, DEHS
“In retrospect I think we should have been more
concerned about stray voltage considering how wet the
area was.”
“If your staff are concerned about their safety during a
water event they should leave the area.”
“The U has a procedure lead by the Dept. of Emergency
Management to review emergency incidents with an
interdisciplinary group and we will review timing and
responses to this event at our next meeting.”
“We are reviewing our response procedures and will
take responsibility for implementing any changes.”
If it’s safe to do so, turn off electrical equipment and
secure experiments, vital equipment, records, and
hazardous material by moving it to higher ground
(Note: only persons knowledgeable about electrical
shock hazards should shut the power off).
Call 911 to report hazardous substances that may
contaminate flood waters.
Do not dump flood water down the storm drain
unless doing so is approved by environmental
health and safety staff.
