Emergency Response

In an emergency, employees, students and visitors need to respond safely and quickly. You may be notified of a campus emergency through multiple channels that are part of MRU’s Emergency Notification System.

Emergency Preparedness Week May 5 - 10

Everyone has a role to play in an emergency. Emergency Preparedness Week is an opportunity for you to take action to ensure you are prepared to protect yourself, your family and your community during an emergency. This year, the theme is Be Prepared. Know Your Risks. Some steps you can take to prepare for emergencies both on and off campus include:

Downloading MRU Now, MRU's official safety app, to receive push notifications during campus emergencies or other time sensitive events. Ensure notifications are enabled on your Android or Apple mobile device.
Reviewing MRU's emergency procedures below to help prepare you for specific emergencies that may arise on campus.
Downloading and printing a one-page emergency procedures poster (also available in both 11x17in and 8.5x11in format) for quick reference.
Taking time to familiarize yourself with your surroundings, including nearby exits and escape routes, fire alarm pull stations, and automated external defibrillators (AEDs), before an emergency occurs. During an emergency, remember to stay calm, assess your surroundings and your options, and take action to ensure your own safety.
