University preparedness starts with our faculty and staff. Our students, parents, and community partners already depend on you. Therefore, it is important to be prepared for an emergency, as these members of our community will look to you for action and guidance if one arises. The UConn Office of Emergency Management has developed tools and references to help guide you through emergency and response planning and actions.
First, we recommend that you read and frequently reference the Emergency Hazard Guide. After you read through our Emergency Hazard Guide, start planning! You should start planning with your coworkers. Exchange contact information and determine how you will communicate with one another during an emergency event. Also think about how you will contact family members to provide them status updates during an incident.
UConnReady is a university-wide public safety and preparedness campaign developed by the UConn Office of Emergency Management. The purpose of the campaign is to “create a community proud to be safe.” The campaign strives to connect with our Husky community, improve preparedness, and educate about available resources. We are all part of the Husky community and have a shared responsibility to be ready for disaster. We encourage you to be part of the campaign and get UConnReady!
