Be prepared

Familiarise yourself with the information in this site telling you what to do and what to expect.
Enter the emergency on campus contact phone number into your cell phone (0800 823 637). If you have access to an internal phone make sure the on campus emergency phone number is visible for users (see contacts page for details).
Check the emergency procedures, either the PDF files on the emergency procedures page, or 'flip charts' in all departments and service units. It's best to know beforehand what to do in an emergency.
Ensure your Personal Emergency Kit is stocked with the necessary items you may need.
Check the home page of this website (UC Emergency) for up to date information.

If internet access is disrupted, information will be conveyed to staff and students via other sources, including notice boards, security staff and runners.
