National Preparedness Month tips: Get to know the building coordinators

The Department of Public Safety is offering tips each week of National Preparedness Month. This week the focus is on one group of campus staff who help support everyone's safety - the Building Coordinators, vital contacts for safety and emergency preparedness within campus buildings.

• Who They Are: Your Building Coordinator and their alternate are the point of contact for their associated building. Building Coordinators work with building occupants to assist in identifying and resolving maintenance and repair issues and building-specific emergencies. The university provides Building Coordinators with resources and training opportunities to assist them in fulfilling their roles.
• What They Do During an Emergency: In an incident, they help by guiding evacuations, communicating instructions, and acting as a liaison with Boise State's overall emergency response by serving as the point of contact to help gather information, receive complaints or concerns, and disseminate information for students, faculty, staff, and visitors who are impacted by the building's conditions.
• Their Year-Round Role: They support building safety every day by ensuring that safety procedures are posted and up to date for your safety. They regularly facilitate connections and communications between building occupants and campus support units.
• Why It's Important to Know Them: Being familiar with your Building Coordinator gives you a go-to person for guidance if an emergency happens. Knowing who to look for and/or reach out to helps to keep our entire Bronco community safe.

If you are unsure who your Building Coordinator and alternate are for the spaces you use most, you can find them listed under the "Reporting and Resources" section on this Boise State Webpage.
