Some Tips on Finding us …where we are physically located :
- While UWEM has 24/7 responsibilities, 365 days a year, due to staff reductions and COVID-19 remote work arrangements, our office space and EOC is not occupied most of the time. So unless you have a confirmed appointment or in-person meeting scheduled on-site, it is recommended to call first to confirm that someone as the elevator is access controlled.
- 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.
- Once in the C-Building, find the elevator lobby and take to the 1st floor
- Once you are on the C-1 level, turn left. Follow the posted wall signs to “Emergency Management/ EOC”
- Keep following the hallway until you have reached the very end.
- Our offices & EOC are on the right-hand side. The secure space is locked and access-controlled.
- Use the wall-mounted courtesy phone to call the UWEM staff member you are visiting and someone will let you in.
