Building Coordinators and Emergency Wardens play an important role in UMB’s emergency preparedness.

Building Coordinators gather relevant information from emergency wardens and serve as the main point of contact for the building with emergency responders.

Emergency Wardens encourage others to evacuate the building. Once outside the building, wardens direct occupants to the assembly area and relay relevant incident information to the Building Coordinator.

Updated building coordinator and emergency warden training is currently provided by the UMB Office of Emergency Management (OEM). If you have any questions or would like to request training, please reach out to Laura Cathcart, OEM Training and Exercise Program Manager.
