Understanding emergency preparedness and response at UNSW

Published: 

Emergency preparedness and response

Maintaining a level of situational awareness while going about our daily activities on campus supports everyone's safety. If you observe something or someone behaving suspiciously, appearing out of place or exhibiting concerning behaviours, please promptly report it to Security via the SafeZone app or call Security on 02 9385 6666.

We encourage students and staff to familiarise themselves with University emergency procedures and take time to view our video on emergency preparedness and response.

Download the SafeZone app to stay safe and connected

To further enhance safety for our UNSW community, we encourage you to use our new safety app, SafeZone.

In February this year, SafeZone replaced the now obsolete StaySafe@UNSW app. Spread the word among your friends to help us all stay safe on campus.

Why should I download SafeZone?

With the new app, you can:

  • Learn about and access support services available to UNSW students and staff
  • SpeakUp and report safety or security concerns
  • Get immediate help, both during emergencies and less urgent matters
  • Stay connected and prepared, with help within easy reach. 

Download SafeZone for Apple
