Emergencies

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) describes an emergency as "any unplanned event that can cause deaths or significant injuries to employees, customers or the public; or that can shut down your business, disrupt operations, cause physical or environmental damage, or threaten the facility's financial standing or public image." 

All faculty, staff, and students should be familiarized with the list of emergencies described to the left and what action and/or preparations should be taken with each.

In addition, everyone should have the following telephone numbers readily available in the event of an emergency and never hesitate to call.

’Cane Watch – Confidential Reporting

 All students, faculty, and staff of the University are held to the highest standards of ethics and integrity. In instances of law or policy violation, it is the obligation of every member of the UM community to take immediate action and report any inappropriate conduct. ’Cane Watch is a Web and telephone tool for confidentially reporting violations throughout the University. ’Cane Watch enables students, faculty, staff, and others to express a concern or report a problem - anonymously if they so choose. It is a tool to supplement existing avenues for addressing concerns through supervisor-employee discussions, Student Affairs, Faculty Affairs, and Human Resources. ’Cane Watch is administered by an external third-party vendor, independent of the University. Reports can be made over the Internet by visiting www.canewatch.ethicspoint.com
