Some Tips on Finding us  …where we are physically located :

  1. While UWEM has 24/7 responsibilities, our office space and Emergency Operations Center is not occupied full time. So unless you have a confirmed appointment or in-person meeting scheduled on-site, we recommend calling first to confirm that someone is there, as the elevator is access controlled.
  2. Once you are in the secure part of the UW Tower complex – past the security gates – follow the signs to the C-Building where we are located.
  3. Once in the C-Building, find the elevator lobby and take to the 1st floor
  4. Once you are on the C-1 level, turn left.  Follow the posted wall signs to “Emergency Management/ EOC”
  5. Keep following the hallway until you have reached the very end.
  6. Our offices & EOC are on the right-hand side.  The secure space is locked and access-controlled.
  7. Use the wall-mounted courtesy phone to call the UWEM staff member you are visiting and someone will let you in.
