SUSS Emergency Preparedness

The SUSS Emergency Preparedness Programme aims to equip students with an understanding of the risk management process, and the skills and tools for risk mitigation when conducting any local and overseas field trips.

SUSS Emergency Management System (EMS) Guide for Field Trips

In particular, before embarking on SUSS overseas experience programmes, students are required to read the SUSS EMS Guide for Field Trips and complete/ pass an online Risk Analysis and Management System (RAMS) quiz before embarking on any of the following SUSS Programmes:

• Experiential Teambuilding Programme (ETB)*
• Overseas Experiential Learning
• Global Service Learning
• Overseas Summer School
• Local/ and Overseas Work Attachment
• Overseas Exchange Programmes
• Overseas Competitions or Challenges
• Any other overseas programmes endorsed or organized by SUSS
  

The online quiz is designed to:

1. Familiarise students with SUSS Emergency Management System (EMS)
2. Equip students with basic skills and knowledge to identify potential risks associated with their overseas travel
3. Raise students’ awareness in the mitigating strategies to reduce risk
   

The SUSS Emergency Management System (EMS) Guide for Field Trips is a resource for preparing your field trips. You may download a copy of the EMS Guide and access the online RAMS Quiz.

* The Online RAMS Quiz has been integrated as a learning objective with the Experiential Teambuilding Programme (ETB). All students who have attended and achieve a PASS on any ETB course would have PASSED the Online RAMS Quiz.
