General Emergency Preparedness Information

Students, Faculty, and Staff are encouraged to review the general emergency preparedness steps below:

• Emergency Alerts: Verify that your personal and emergency contact information is up to date in CaneLink or Workday. Continue to monitor official communications issued by the University. When a situation warrants, the University will issue emergency information via mass text, voice messages, and emails. The latest critical information is also posted on the UM homepage.
• Ensure you have an emergency kit with essential supplies you would need for a minimum of 72 hours after a disaster.
• Supervisors and unit emergency planners should confirm their unit’s continuity plan is up-to-date in the UReady Continuity Planning System.
• Each unit’s human resources partner can use the “UM Emergency Contact Information” Report in Workday to provide management with the latest contact information for all employees in the unit. Printed copies of this report should be maintained by managers and a copy uploaded into UReady.
• Faculty should begin preparing their course academic continuity plan, which would typically anticipate a period of online instruction, alternative methods for access to course materials, and assignments.
• Additional information on hurricane preparedness can be found on the UM Hurricane Preparedness website.
