We are pleased to announce that the Health Sciences Library now has two Emergency Management Kiosks available for patrons. These kiosks run the UVA Ready app and are designed to help anyone report a safety concern for themselves or others at UVA. They are especially useful for those who do not have the mobile app installed on their phone or prefer to report anonymously. You can find the kiosks conveniently located on the first floor in the MILL and on the second floor in the large quiet study area.
The UVA Ready app is the official safety app of the University of Virginia, designed to help students, faculty, staff, and the public prepare for emergencies on Grounds. Here are some key features:
- Emergency Notifications: Receive alerts targeted to your geographic location.
- Report Concerns: Submit non-emergency safety concerns or tips directly to UVA Police.
- "I'm Ok!" Feature: Send a message and your location to friends and loved ones during an emergency.
- Friend Walk: Invite friends to virtually walk with you and set a timer for your arrival.
- Call 911
- Parking & Transportation: Access information provided by UVA Parking & Transportation.
- Emergency Procedures: Access a list of procedures for different emergency situations.
- Resource Locator: Find safety resources and contact information for on and off Grounds.
The app ensures your information is secure and your location is only shared when you request assistance. It's a comprehensive tool to enhance safety and preparedness at UVA.
We encourage everyone to take advantage of this valuable resource to ensure a safer environment for all.
