Distaster Environmental Preparedness Prevention (DEPP) Plan
Environmental Health and Safety has written a DEPP Plan to minimize hazards to human health and the environment from emergency events such as fires, explosions, any unplanned release of hazardous waste or any other type of incident that would adversely impact Lehigh University faculty, staff or students.
The provisions of the plan must be carried out immediately whenever there is an emergency event.
