Preparing for Emergency
UNL is committed to the safety and security of its students, faculty, and staff, and visitors to campus. This site will help you understand
- What you can do to prepare for an emergency
- How you will be notified of an emergency when you are on campus
- What to have on hand in an emergency
It is important to think about your response before an emergency occurs, so please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with this site.
In the event of an emergency, dial 911 or 0 from any campus phone.

In an emergency
During an emergency situation involving the campus, UNL's main Web site may convert to a low bandwidth version, free of the majority of graphics to ease transmission and server load. The emergency Web site will be a primary mode of communication, to be continually updated.
The UNL Emergency Site is located at http://emergency.unl.edu
During an emergency, our goal is to communicate first with those most immediately impacted; people who need to evacuate or seek medical treatment.
University Communications leads the communications response during and after emergencies, factually assessing each situation, developing the communications response, and assembling a crisis communications team. The goal is to provide accurate and timely information to minimize rumors and restore order and confidence.
During an emergency, the UNL community and general public may receive information through the Web, e-mail, telephone, and the media.
News information about current or recent emergencies on campus and updates on the University's emergency management activities. Members of the media (link to media emergency contact site) can find information 24/7. Up-to-date university information is provided at UNL Today.
