August 25, 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.
