Emergency Preparedness Week is May 4–10, 2025
Join us during Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) to increase our community’s resilience by learning about emergency preparedness. Start by getting informed on the risks in your community, make a plan, and then build a kit.

As a service to the community, we are sharing these resources developed by UBC, U15, Universities Canada, and CSIS related to travel safety and research security.

UBC shines as “Best in Class” thanks to our incredible community!
Loss control inspectors visit UBC to assess potential hazards that could lead to claims—whether it’s risks to people, property, or research. Thanks to the dedication of our faculty and staff, our insurer has given us a top-tier rating: UBC is Best in Class!
Restricting the use of DeepSeek at UBC
DeepSeek has become one of the most downloaded AI apps but raises serious privacy and security concerns, particularly with data collection and storage. UBC restricts the installation or use of the DeepSeek Applications on any UBC-owned or personal devices used for university business or accessing a UBC system through user login. Learn more on the PrISM website.
