Safety and Security
Kwantlen Polytechnic University is committed to providing you a safe and ready learning environment. We have established an Office of Emergency Planning responsible for the implementation of our READYCAMPUS™ program and the administration of our Campus Security Services.
Emergency Planning
In the event of an emergency, please follow the instructions sent out through our Mass Notification System, provided by staff and faculty, and other designated emergency response personnel (such as Campus Security Services, Campus Emergency Response Team members, Fire Fighters, and Police Officers). We have recently installed a new Mass Notification System, which includes both personal notifications and alerting devices throughout the campuses.
Please see the Office of Emergency Planning (kpu.ca/emergencyplanning) for more detail on the READYCAMPUS™ program and other relevant emergency management information.
ReadyCampus is the trademarked (2010) name of Kwantlen Polytechnic University's Emergency Management Program, administered by the Office of Emergency Planning.
