Our emergency preparedness protocols are designed to deliver swift and effective responses to crises, safeguarding our students, faculty, staff, property, and environment from potential harm. Cape Breton University maintains dedicated structures, strategies, and resources to manage emergency situations efficiently through close collaboration with service providers, first responders, and essential partners.
Key priorities for emergency response include:
Educating and training students, faculty, and staff to handle possible campus threats.
Ensuring the safety of all university community members.
Maintaining clear communication with students, faculty, and staff throughout emergencies.
Organizing support for those affected by incidents.
Sustaining academic operations, research activities, and administrative functions.
Securing university assets, facilities, and public standing.
Facilitating rapid recovery and return to regular university operations.
CBU Alert serves as the university's emergency notification platform, accessible exclusively to CBU community members. All students, faculty, and staff will receive invitations to register through their CBU email accounts.
