September is National Preparedness Month
Sep 23, 2025
University Organizational Resilience 鈥� Northern Command (UOR-NC) is here to help you get started at home, at work and in our learning spaces.
September is National Preparedness Month. This year鈥檚 theme, Preparedness Starts at Home, is a reminder that readiness begins with small, practical actions you can take today. Whether facing a natural disaster, power outage or unexpected emergency, planning ahead helps you protect yourself and support others when it is safe to do so.
University Organizational Resilience 鈥� Northern Command (UOR-NC) is here to help you get started at home, at work and in our learning spaces.
Three quick wins to do this week
Make a plan. Decide how you will communicate with family, roommates or coworkers during an emergency. Choose meeting points and make sure everyone knows the plan.
Build a kit. Stock water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, batteries, first-aid supplies and copies of important documents. Stay informed. Update your emergency contacts in Workday (faculty/staff) or my麻豆原创 (students), and download the college鈥檚 campus safety app, 麻豆原创safe, which gives fast access to safety tools and resources on your phone.
What is 麻豆原创safe and why it helps
麻豆原创safe puts campus safety resources in one place. It includes emergency contacts, crisis alerts, tip reporting, and location services features. It is free on iOS and Android.
