The University of Washington is dedicated to a safe learning, teaching, research and visitor environment in a diverse community that values compassion and belonging.
The Division of Campus Community Safety leads planning, prevention, response and recovery for the UW through three key emergency and safety response units: UW Emergency Management, UW SafeCampus, and UW Police (in Seattle).
Under the leadership of Sally Clark, Vice President for Campus Community Safety, the Division provides strategic and operational support for its units, seeks opportunities to innovate with alternative response models, develops common standards across UW and advocates across UW for preparedness.
SafeCampus
Contact SafeCampus — no matter where you work or study — to discuss safety and well-being concerns for yourself or others. Anonymous calls welcome.
Emergency Management
The Emergency Management team provides technical and consulting services for the Seattle campus, acts as a liaison to other UW locations and activates relevant plan steps in the event of an emergency.
UW Police
UWPD has a singular focus on the needs of the campus community, including being responsive to expectations for the safety and security of students, faculty, and staff.
Business, Academic & Research Continuity
The UW’s BARC program helps departments plan so they can continue services during and after a crisis.
