Emergency Guidelines

The Office of Disaster Recovery and Emergency Response exists to ensure that the University can efficiently and as safely as possible undertake the necessary actions to respond to any manner of emergency which may occur on or within the University of Winnipeg Campus. Emergency planning and the ability to respond appropriately significantly reduces occurrences of confusion during the course of an emergency, which is the preservation of life and property.
