The Office of Emergency Management
The Office of Emergency Management (OEM), a division of the Department of Public Safety, has the primary responsibility of the emergency management function at Kennesaw State. Emergency management is broken up into four core functions or phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. Each phase makes up an integral aspect of the overall Emergency Management System. The four phases are generally identified as a cycle. The vast majority of the emergency management function at an Institute of Higher Education (IHE) are spent on mitigation and preparedness.
More information about KSU’s campus emergency procedures, FAQs, training opportunities, and other emergency preparedness resources is available at https://oem.kennesaw.edu/. You may also call OEM at 470-578-6985 or email oem@kennesaw.edu. The campus community is encouraged to follow OEM on Facebook and Twitter. It is important to make sure employee cell phone numbers are up to date in the OneUSG system.

Behavioral Response Team (BRT)
Kennesaw State University seeks to foster a proactive climate of care that can only be achieved through cooperative input from the entire community. To that end, KSU has created a Behavioral Response Team (BRT) that takes a planned approach to identifying and assisting individuals who are distressed and/or exhibiting abnormal, threatening, or dangerous behavior. Through early identification, the team can connect individuals of concern with the resources they need to succeed and hopefully prevent crises. The BRT is a multidisciplinary team that meets regularly to assess and manage concerns that have been brought to the attention of the team. The team provides consultation to individuals and departments, outreach to the community, and coordinates a host of resources, including online “At Risk” training to help better prepare faculty, staff, and students to assess and respond to individuals in crisis. The BRT is facilitated through the Office of the Dean of Students and includes representatives and consulting members from Counseling and Psychological Services, Student Health Services, Academic Affairs, Public Safety, Housing and Residence Life, Student Conduct and Academic Integrity, Human Resources, Legal Affairs, and Student Disability Services. More information about the Behavioral Response Team and the Red Flag Report form are available at https://brt.kennesaw.edu/.
