Personal and community preparedness
Emergencies can happen anytime, often without warning. Stay ready by learning the skills and accessing the tools you need to prevent, respond to, and recover from them.
A prepared community is a resilient community. Visit our Personal and Community Preparedness page for practical tips, tools, and local resources to help you, your family, and your neighbors stay safe before, during, and after an emergency. Together, we can build a stronger, safer community.

Hazards of concern
Get ready for any and all emergencies by ensuring you have the right knowledge, plans, and supplies needed to react appropriately and practice your response to be ready to act.
Emergency supports
UBC will coordinate emergency support for students, faculty, staff, and University Neighbourhood Association (UNA) residents following a major event. The location and availability of the types of community response services will be determined at the time of the incident based on the context of the emergency and with community safety in mind.
