What's your personal safety plan?

Awareness and planning are important steps to personal safety. Do you know what to if you have a security concern or what actions to take if there was an emergency on campus? To be prepared, we urge you to regularly review Memorial’s personal safety resources including: personal safety tips, what to do if you see suspicious behaviour and download the MUN Safe App. MUN Safe lets students, staff, faculty and visitors quickly access health, safety and emergency campus resources. We all have a responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy campus and personal safety is the first priority.

See It? Report it!

If you see it, report it.

We all have a responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy campus. If you experience a near miss, accident or injury, observe a hazard, or have a security concern, please use the Report feature in the MUN Safe app to submit the details.

Do you know what to do if shots are fired on campus?

Every member of the Memorial University community has the right to study, work and live in a safe, non-threatening environment. Memorial University is committed to providing and maintaining such an environment. An active intruder threat involves a situation where an individual or individuals come on campus with the intention to cause serious harm to others. Many of these incidents are often over in a very short period of time—ten to fifteen minutes. You need to assess your situation and take responsibility for your personal safety and security. Find out how to respond. 

Incident Command System Training

Memorial’s Enterprise Risk Committee has adopted changes to the university’s Emergency Management Plan. One of these changes relates to the response section of the plan, which has been revised to fully integrate an Incident Command System (ICS). ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazard incident management approach and allows first responders to adopt an integrated organizational structure that matches the complexities and demands of incidents.

Disaster Crash Courses

Disasters happen. Learn how to be prepared at work and at home. Enterprise Risk Management invites you to learn how to be prepared in the event of emergencies at home and at work. Sessions include demonstrations and information on medical emergencies, bomb threats and building an emergency kit.

Information on the Zika virus

The Government of Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada have released information and updates related to the Zika virus. The mosquitos that transmit the virus to humans are thought not to be established in Canada, so a local epidemic or endemic transmission is very unlikely. 

Important information about 999

The number 999 is used in many countries for emergency services. Memorial’s campus community is very diverse with students, faculty and staff from all over the world, many of whom may call 999 in the event of an emergency.
