uOttawa may face various types and magnitudes of emergencies that can adversely impact the University community and its activities. Plans and contingencies at the individual, unit and organizational level must be well established and practiced to protect the University, its people and its assets. The Emergency Management team provides support and subject-matter expertise to the University community and its academic, research and operational units in their planning and response efforts.
uOttawa’s Crisis Management Structure is the central framework to effectively manage University emergencies and significant disruptions. When activated, it temporarily supersedes the normal internal governance and management structure with response duties and activities having priority over other regular duties and planned University activities.
Coming soon.
Contact the Emergency Management team to request an emergency preparedness training for your university community group or your academic, research or operational unit.
The Emergency Management team can assist community members with mobility, sensory, or other non-visible disabilities to develop a personal emergency plan. These plans are based on one's unique or individual needs and can include special accommodations.
Visit the Are you ready? website to learn about how you can personally prepare for emergencies. Be sure to download the SecurUO app and familiarize yourself with the campus’ emergency procedures.
