Keeping you and our campus safe

No one likes to imagine a disturbance to the peace and safety of our university. While we hope that a crisis or emergency will never occur at UNCG, the university has made emergency preparedness a priority. It has in place an Emergency Planning and Response Team (EPART) and a Crisis Management Group which are ready to be activated if an urgent situation arises.

UNCG's response system helps ensure campus-wide awareness of how to respond to crises. It is based on a strategically-developed and continually updated Crisis CommunicationPlan. By using multiple communication systems, the university will provide rapid notification to our more than 17,000 students and 2,500 faculty and staff.

Your safety is our number one concern. Please keep a copy of the UNCG Safety Brochure (PDF) brochure posted where it can be easily accessed should you need to refer back to this information. By familiarizing yourself with the available resources UNCG has in place, you will be informed and prepared in the case of an emergency.

What is an emergency?

If an emergency situation arises at UNCG, the Emergency Preparedness and Response Team (EPART) and the Crisis Management Group will work together to assess the emergency and take appropriate action. The response can range from a short-term severe weather notice to an extended campus shutdown due to a pandemic. You are an important part of safety at UNCG — please notify the University Police, (336) 334-4444, of anything that might impact our community’s safety.
