  • Visitor's Guide
    NANOVIC INSTITUTE FOR EUROPEAN STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Visitor’s Guide Welcome to Notre Dame! The University of Notre Dame is located in northern Indiana near the city of South Bend and the southern border of Michigan, known as Michiana. The Michiana area has many woodlands and lakes and several amenities that you might not expect to find in the Midwest. There are few locations that offer such an ideal condition for work, study, or recreation. You can expect warm summers, beautiful springs and autumns, and interesting winters. Within a two-hour drive, west of South Bend, you can enjoy the sites and sounds of Chicago and within three-hours to the south, Indianapolis. The greater South Bend and Mishawaka area offers an abundance of diverse cultural events, museums, movie theaters, shopping malls, coffee houses, and parks. South Bend has its own symphony orchestra and a minor league baseball team, the Silver Hawks. There are great restaurants, the College Football Hall of Fame, and the East Race Waterway, just to name a few attractions. This short guide to information about Notre Dame, South Bend and the Michiana area will hopefully help you to become settled quickly and to make the most of your time at Notre Dame. The Notre Dame Human Resources website (http://hr.nd.edu) lists a great number of campus and local resources, and in addition we have listed some others which we hope will help you with both the basics such as food and shopping as well as other activities for rest and recreation. In addition, any of Nanovic team will be happy to give you advice and guidance.

  • St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Residents of St
    PROMULGATION St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Residents of St. Joseph County, Indiana face the threat of disasters and emergencies. Recognizing this threat, government at all levels has a continuing responsibility for the health, safety and general welfare of its citizens. Normal day-to-day procedures usually are not sufficient for effective disaster response, as extraordinary emergency measures have to be implemented quickly if loss of life and property is to be kept to a minimum. Emergency procedures and actions to cope with the possibility of a disaster occurrence are addressed in the St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. In accordance with Indiana Code Title 10, Health and Safety of the St. Joseph County Code Chapter 10.36.030.(11) A St. Joseph County Emergency Operations Plan shall be adopted by resolution of the Board of Commissioners, St. Joseph County, Indiana. This plan shall hereby be named the St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. In order for our county's emergency management system to reach and maintain the goals desired, it will be necessary that each local department/agency perform the following functions: Develop procedures for the protection of personnel, equipment, supplies and critical public records from the effects of disasters. Develop procedures to ensure the continuity of essential services that may be needed during and after disasters. Attend scheduled emergency management related training and exercises conducted by local agencies/departments and St. Joseph County Emergency Management. Establish policy and develop Standard Operating Procedures to carry out the provisions of the St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
