To the UConn Community:
Do you know what to do if an emergency occurs on campus? Some threats, such as severe weather, come with warning and allow for appropriate cautions and preparation. Others, such as a gas leak or active threat situation, require real-time response and action to ensure your safety. The Division of Public Safety’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is committed to your safety and providing you the resources you need to be UConn Ready.
Hazard Guides
We encourage everyone to take a few moments to familiarize yourself with resources at oem.uconn.edu, including Hazard Guides and emergency terminology. Based on federal emergency preparedness guidelines, these guides offer practical information for our UConn community.
