Education Abroad: Emergency Response
Once Education Abroad is made aware of the nature, urgency, scope and extent of a significant incident - the type of responses required and the methods to execute the actions will be determined. Typically, this is the role of the Situation Response Team (SRT) acting through a Single Point Contact (SPC). Should the significant incident require additional resources, a crisis management team may also be initiated.
