More Communication Information
Directed Communications
The University of New Hampshire also conveys information via email to all faculty, staff and students. Check your UNH email account regularly
Zone Management
The campus has been organized into 4 zones. Each zone contains academic, residential, dining, and administrative buildings. There is an emergency contact for each building within each of the 4 zones. Should an emergency situation arise that requires campus-wide communication, a broadcast e-mail message will be sent to designated building contacts. Emergencies may be communicated campus-wide or by individual zones. Up-to-date emergency information will also be provided on the Emergency Preparedness webpage and the UNH Information Phone Line at (603) 862-0000 should an event occur that requires a campus alert.

The University Emergency Group
The University of New Hampshire recognizes the need to be able to respond to and disseminate information on a variety of emergencies that may directly or indirectly affect the University community. To facilitate this responsibility the University has formed the University Emergency Group (UEG) and has developed an Emergency Operation Plan to facilitate decision making, communication and coordination of response activities in the event of an emergency. In addition, the UEG has created an Emergency Guide (pdf) to help the campus community prepare for emergencies.
