what to do before you depart

The CGE considers the safety of study abroad participants to be our primary concern. There
are several steps that you, as one most responsible for the health and safety of the program
participants, can take to anticipate, mitigate, and respond to emergencies that will require
your immediate attention.

 attend required emergency response seminar

The Center for Global Education hosts a yearly Faculty Pre-Departure session that is
mandatory for all program directors.

 familiarize yourself with insurance plan

Butler University has an overseas insurance plan that automatically covers, students,
faculty and staff while traveling outside the country of permanent resident on trips
sponsored by and whose names are on file with Butler University. Any participant that is
traveling with the group and is not officially associated with Butler, needs to secure their
own overseas insurance. See page 14 for more details.

 identify on-site contacts & resources

You may need to rely on local contacts, such as a vendor or service provider, to assist you
in responding to emergencies that arise on-site. It is important to have at least one other
person you can rely on for assistance.

 research on-site emergency services

It is important to know the location of the nearest medical facility, the local equivalent to
911, and to have at least a basic understanding of how to navigate the health care system
on-site.

 develop a contingency plan

Previous programs have been interrupted by strikes, political unrest, natural disasters,
and even terrorist attacks. Research the current situation in your host country and think
of a contingency plan in case the itinerary is interrupted and you have to relocate the
program.

3|Page

 list out all international contact information

Make a list of relevant cell phone numbers for your in-country contacts.

 review student applications in terra dotta

Each student has filled out a self-assessment medical form, emergency contact form, and
has uploaded a copy of his/her passport. These documents will be available to you online
while you are abroad, in case you need to access them. You could consider printing the
applications to have a hard copy while abroad.

 conduct a pre-departure orientation for your program

The CGE expects that all study abroad program leaders will conduct a mandatory, in-
person pre-departure orientation session with all students. CGE will provide you a
template for this orientation. When and where to host your program orientation is at
your discretion, but the CGE expects you to:

• Create an environment in which the students feel safe approaching you should they
need your assistance abroad;

• Inform students of program rules and expectations;
• Encourage students to visit the Butler Health Services or Student Disability

Services for questions about continuation of care while abroad, but refrain from
offering advice to students about taking/using prescription drugs, vaccines, or any
other medications;
• Distribute in-country emergency phone numbers;
• Discuss the health, safety, legal, environmental, political, and cultural conditions
in the program locations, giving tips on avoiding known risks unique to the
program locations;
• Know the legal ramifications of contacting law enforcement in your country if
sexual assault occurs. If reporting is inadvisable, they can report to Butler;
• Know the closest hospital in case of an emergency (sexual assault examination);
• Encourage students to register their travel with the U.S. Department of State Smart
Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) at step.state.gov and remind them to review
the country-specific information at travel.state.gov and cdc.gov;
• Remind students that you are a mandatory reporter and that some things they
report to you will be reported to Butler;
• Discuss preventable accidents with students, including tips for safe road travel
(e.g., traffic patterns), pub and drinking culture, drug laws, unsafe swimming, and
the hazards of walking down a street alone at night in a foreign city;

Be specific about unsafe behavior such as alcohol abuse, certain types of sexual
misconduct, and how to avoid unwanted attention.

what to do when you arrive in country

 contact cge about your safe arrival

Email Dena Roberts Mulligan, Associate Director for Faculty-Led Programs, that your
group has arrived safely. [email protected]

 conduct an on-site orientation

The CGE expects that you will conduct a mandatory, in-person orientation with all
program participants upon arrival in each program city or country. Topics to cover
should include:

• Remind students to check in with their family members;
• Discuss the current political climate, emphasizing the importance of

avoiding all demonstrations;
• Review any known risks, including crime patterns, parts of the city that are off-

limits for your students and areas that could be dangerous for women or where
sexual harassment is more prevalent;
• Review the local transportation system in-depth;
• Remind students of the Butler University 24/7 emergency contact at
+1 (317) 940-9396;
• Inform students of program rules and behavioral expectations, including the
consequences of violating those rules;
• Discuss your expectations and cultural norms regarding the use of alcohol;
• Provide local emergency services number and location of nearest medical
facility;
• Distribute your 24/7 contact number;
• Collect mobile numbers and WhatsApp information for all of program participants.

 establish an emergency response plan

While you can never predict an emergency, one important step to ensuring an effective
response to unforeseen incidents is to develop an emergency response plan for the
program. The CGE urges you to consider the following steps:

• Secure an alternate emergency contact number (service provider, colleague, …)
• Maintain an easily accessible list of student mobile phone numbers so that you can

easily reach all participants.
• Designate a primary and secondary meeting point for all program participants in

each program location, in case of an emergency affecting the entire group.
• Establish alternative methods of communication if a physical meeting does

not or cannot take place.
• Organize a phone tree.

responding to emergencies abroad

The CGE will keep you informed of any travel warnings, U.S. State Department public
announcements, worldwide cautions, or situations of note while you are away. Please regularly
check your email if internet or wireless data access is readily available. In the case of any
imminent health and safety concerns, the CGE will also contact you by phone, if possible.

In case of an emergency, expect be on-call 24/7 until the emergency is resolved. The CGE is
responsible for coordinating Butler’s management of emergencies affecting participants on all
Butler study abroad programs. As a leader of a Butler study abroad program, you are expected
to follow the procedures outlined in the following pages and to inform the participants about
these procedures during on-site orientation.

During an ongoing emergency, it is important to keep the CGE informed on a regular basis.

cge contact details

24/7 BUPD emergency line: +1 (317) 940-9396

Jill McKinney Dena Roberts Mulligan
[email protected] [email protected]
WhatsApp: +1 (765) 623-7988 WhatsApp: +1 (352) 359-5126

Because the line is available 24/7, always call BUPD first to report the emergency. BUPD
will then find a member of CGE to be in touch with you for assistance with your emergency.

butler university defines an emergency as:

A serious injury or illness that requires hospitalization of a participant or faculty member, or
one that makes it impossible for the participant or faculty member to continue the program.

An emergency may also be (but is not limited to) a situation involving a criminal act against
or by one or more participants in the program; an act or threat of terrorism that poses a
threat to the security of the program participants; a natural disaster; an act of war; or other
event causing or threatening harm to one or more participants in the program.

A perceived emergency results from events that are not immediately threatening to the health or
safety of program participants or staff, but which may be viewed as such by family and friends at
home, or by the media. In many instances, a perceived emergency must be treated as a real
emergency.

important steps for all emergencies abroad

While every emergency or incident abroad is unique, there are several steps that you should
anticipate taking in response to every emergency that impacts a student participant.

• Take care of the student by doing whatever is necessary.
• Seek appropriate medical care. Never pay any provider on behalf of a student.
• Follow the situation-specific protocol outlined for each scenario listed herein.
• Contact or respond to directions of local authorities. It may be helpful to have a host

country native or other local contact assist you in interacting with local authorities.
• Determine if it safe to file a police report based on local laws and the situation.
• Communicate with the CGE as early and often as possible.
• Protect the student’s right to privacy. Urge other students to avoid discussing the emergency

on social media.
• Do not call parents without participant’s permission.
• Do not speak with members of the media.
• Document all details of the incident/emergency, as best as possible. Document any follow

up with the student as well.
• Determine what debriefing/follow-up is required.
• Know where to get immediate & on-the-ground counseling support services.

Remember that the CGE is prepared to assist you in responding to any emergency situation
that arises while you are abroad with a group of Butler students. Please be sure to contact
BUPD as soon as prudent after any emergency situation involving one or more members of the
group.

information gathering and documentation

In an emergency situation, the Faculty Director will most likely be the first person notified. It
is important to begin a careful process of gathering and reporting information, including:

• Describe the imminent risk.
• Describe current status of affected participant(s): location, physical conditions, etc.
• Include the date, time and location of the incident.
• Describe urgent need or expected response.
• Describe what monitoring/assistance affected participant is receiving (police, medical,

counseling, etc.).
• Describe what impact this incident has on other student participants.
• Identify who will remain with other participants if the affected student needs your

priority attention.
• Report on others who may have already been notified of the incident (students, parents,

local police, media, etc.).

Be sure to contact the CGE as soon as feasible to report all details and to receive further
guidance.
