Inclement Weather

In the event of inclement weather or other emergency conditions, you should follow delays and closures for the Universities at Shady Grove, rather than your individual USM institution. Closures and delay texts and emails will be sent over the Omnilert notification system, and will also be posted on the USG website and the USG Facebook page.  You may also call USG at 301-738-6000 for recorded updates related to closures or delays. 

Emergency Preparedness / Crime Prevention

In addition to the text alert system the University maintains several email listservs designed to communicate critical information to students faculty and staff. This system will be used to notify the community of emergency situations as well as past crimes that could present a future threat to the community. Lastly the University can use its telecom system to send out a "broadcast" to all phones on the system. This is in the form of a recorded message.
