National Preparedness Month: Resources for Being Ready

National Preparedness Month
 
Thursday, September 1, 2022 :: UTRGV Messenger

Dear UTRGV Family,

September is National Preparedness Month — a time to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies.

Since a life-threatening situation can occur at any moment, we want to make you aware of some critical resources UTRGV uses and promotes to ensure your safety on campus.


CampusShield

This convenient and user-friendly mobile app directly connects you with UTRGV Police, helping cut down on response time. Your location services are only used when you signal for assistance and are never passively tracked. Learn more about CampusShield.


Emergency Procedures

The University has clearly defined procedures for various emergency situations, including:

  • Active Shooters
  • Severe Weather
  • Medical, and
  • Fires.

We highly encourage you to review these procedures, which will help prepare you to act during a crisis.


Emergency Alert Notifications

The UTRGV Emergency Alert System sends timely mass communications of an active campus emergency or high-risk incident to students, faculty, and staff. Prompt notifications are sent through, emails, text (SMS) messages, voice messages, University owned personal computers, and UTRGV’s Facebook page.


We’re Ready for You.

Our office supports and protects the entire UTRGV community by preparing for, responding to, and recovering from all major emergencies or disasters affecting the University. All month long, we will be sharing more information about these and other resources related to emergency preparedness, mental health and wellness, and campus safety. As a reminder, all these resources are accessible from utrgv.edu/commitment.

Here’s to safe and successful semester!
