Register for a campus safety education session

Additional safety session added on March 31

March 7, 2025 — 

The safety and well-being of students, faculty and staff is a top priority at UM, and we are committed to continuously enhancing campus security and our emergency response effort.

As part of our ongoing commitment, UM is offering educational sessions focused on the university’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP). These sessions will provide valuable information to all members of the UM community, so that we are prepared when it matters most.

The ERP is a comprehensive framework that ensures the university is prepared to respond to a wide range of incidents and emergencies in a coordinated, effective and timely manner. It serves to guide actions, decision-making, communication and overall engagement with emergency agencies at the federal, provincial and municipal levels.

The University of Manitoba has partnered with the Winnipeg Police Service to offer annual safety training sessions for faculty, staff and students, starting in March.

These sessions will cover:

  • UM’s emergency response plan,
  • the UM Safe App, which provides real-time safety communications and support, and
  • how to respond to an active threat on campus.

At the sessions, Security Services will demonstrate the UMSafe App, including safety alerts, the mobile blue light, Safe Walk, Friend Walk and Work Alone features. Download the UM Safe App for IOS or Android now.

Members of the Winnipeg Policy Service will also be available to answer questions and provide guidance on what to do if there are active threats on campus.

Update: Due to popular demand for the sessions, an additional session has been added on March 31.
