UConnReady is a university-wide public safety and preparedness campaign developed by the UConn Office of Emergency Management (OEM). The purpose of the campaign is to “create a community proud to be safe.” UConnReady is more than a safety campaign – it’s a community. We are all part of the Husky community and have a shared responsibility to be ready for disaster. Huskies need to be prepared for anything. When any part of our community’s welfare is in jeopardy, UConnReady students are ready to react. Join the campaign and get yourself UConnReady!
