Hold and secure, lockdown, shelter-in-place, evacuation or hazard-specific situations

In the event of a situation affecting the safety of the campus community, the University has implemented a mass notification system including uoAlert, screen alerts with Alertus, and social media. uoAlert will be activated only in major situations, such as a critical violent event, a serious fire, a serious hazardous material spill, or severe weather. Please refer to this webpage to know how to proceed in the different situations.
