The University of Alabama maintains a comprehensive emergency management program that incorporates a number of plans and procedures. The program is accredited by the Emergency Management Accreditation Agency (EMAP) and is one of three universities in the nation that has earned this accreditation.
The Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) supports the emergency management program. Their website is a resource for students, employees, and visitors to enhance emergency preparedness.
Students will receive emergency notifications through the UA Alerts app.
Students are encouraged to download the UA Safety app for information on storm shelter locations, AED locations, UAPD advisories, the National Weather Service information for Tuscaloosa County, and an emergency contact list for instant dialing with one push.
Students are also encouraged to think through their Personal Emergency Plan, taking into consideration any needs related to their disability.
