Campus Safety Initiative

A safe campus is one that is monitored for safety, one where the various dimensions of the environment are routinely evaluated and adjustments are made as appropriate.” (Rund, J.A., 2002)

Sustainability and safety are really about the same thing: conserving resources.

Campus Safety Survey - Background

United Nations Office of Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR)“Disaster risk reduction begins at school” in 2006-2007. 

Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction“Promote the resilience of new and existing critical infrastructure, including water, transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, educational facilities, hospitals and other health facilities, to ensure that they remain safe, effective and operational during and after disasters in order to provide live-saving and essential services.”

Campus Safety Survey - Methodology

Online-Questionnaire was designed by Tohoku University and UC Davis and distributed among 45 APRU member universities.

Campus Safety Survey –Summary

Area Strength Potential

Governance Action • Countermeasure office• Response plan

• Simulation  exercise  of  countermeasure office

• Information sharing and early warning

Risk Assessment None • Risk assessment• Strategies and action based on risk 

assessment• Assessment result to be shared

Disaster Preparedness Mechanism and Capacity

• Emergency communication system• Disaster-resistant structure • Awareness-raising activities

• Guidance for foreign students• Safety confirmation• Response handbook and its distribution

Response Capacity • Emergency stockpile• Building  inspection  implementation 

and capacity

• Mutual  agreement  with  neighboring universities

• Volunteers listSupport System • Policies for support to students

• Support  for  psychosocial  assistance needs

• Support system for foreign students• Support system for faculty members, and 

staff, as well as their familiesData Preservation • Data  and  information  gathering 

after disasters • Archival  system  for  preservation  of 

records and information

Campus Safety Survey –The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

+ Mechanism in place to establish a counter-measure office and have developed a response manual and plan.

+ Physical structure areas, such as disaster-resistant structures, emergency communication, and emergency stockpiles, have been progressed. 

+ Support toward psychosocial aspects has been provided after disasters.

 

- The area of risk assessment requires more attention and effort. 

- Early warning and alert systems have not been installed widely. 

- Further support and consideration for foreign students is required.

Campus Safety Survey –Challenges of Universities

• Financial constraints,

• human resources challenges,

• difficulties understanding risks and safety issues,

• and a lack of participation by faculty and staff.

 

Visit our Website at apru.org

Campus Safety Survey –The Perfect Plan

1) Disaster Countermeasure Office with university’s senior management in charge

2) Simulation exercises for DCO

3) Disaster response plan

4) Early warning signal

5) Regular disaster risk assessments

6) Preparedness plan based on assessment

7) Transparency of assessment results

8) Safety confirmation system (students, employees)

9) Disaster response handbook

10) Disaster resistant infrastructure

11) Awareness-raising activities

12) Guidance for foreign students / employees

13) Emergency communication system

14) Stockpile of emergency response items

15) Agreement with other universities for mutual support

16) Internal building inspection capacity

17) List of volunteers

18) Support policy for students and employees (e.g. exemption of tuition fees, family support)

19) Psychosocial care after the disaster

20) Record preservation

21) Archiving system

Campus Safety Survey –Do’s and Don’ts

What worked well

• Ask simple questions in the first round

• Do not expect too much / Do not aim too high

• University network

What can be done better

• Get your audience right

• Define precisely what you are asking for

• Communicate, communicate, communicate!

Visit our Website at apru.org

Campus Safety Survey –Next Steps

1. Workshop and Training for University Officers of Safety on Campus,

2. Forming of a Safety Working Group,3. Developing a Good Practice Report and APRU 

Guidelines for Campus Safety,4. Reach out to other universities but also 

governments and the private sector the by sharing tools and good practices.
