Preparedness
Being prepared is critical, especially when an emergency or disaster arises. Anticipating and planning for emergency response minimizes possible injuries and property damage during a campus wide emergency, and eases resumption of normal business activity. While Campus Safety is available 24/7 to respond to emergencies, being well informed is the first step in making sure you are safe and calm during emergencies.
UW Bothell Emergency Management's goal is to educate students, staff, and faculty about their ongoing role in preparing for emergencies through education and training. UW Bothell also coordinates with UW Emergency Management to provide direction and instructions about specific situations and actions to take during an emergency, such as evacuation or sheltering in place inside campus buildings. This information will be available via SMS messaging, social media platforms, and on the UW Bothell Emergency Page.
