Emergencies, disasters and accidents can occur at any time, without warning.

UMinho provides this information to help the entire academic community minimise the negative impact of such events. To this end, established emergency procedures are in place and should be known by everyone.

Knowing these procedures in advance is essential to ensure that, in the event of an emergency, the response is fast, effective and coordinated.

It is recommended that this information be read carefully, that the procedures described be understood, and that it be kept readily available for immediate reference whenever needed.
