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 Emergency Preparedness: Be Ready for Anything. The intent of this theme is to encourage Canadians to take action to become better prepared for the range of emergencies they could face in their region. This national event is coordinated by Public Safety Canada.

How can I be better prepared at MacEwan?

  • Download the SAFE@MacEwan app –MacEwan issues notification and instructions in urgent situations that pose a safety or security risk.
  • Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures so that when an emergency event unfolds on campus, will you be ready to take the appropriate actions.
  • Update your emergency contact information in PeopleSoft (employees) and MyStudentSystem (students) so that MacEwan can notify your emergency contact(s) in the event of an accident or critical incident.
