How to react to an attack or major event at the University?
The specific safety plan is an organizational plan designed to ensure the safety of people in the event of a major event or intruder attack.
How is the PPMS triggered?
Crisis units are set up at each site. They activate the Plan Particulier de Mise en Sûreté (PPMS) when necessary.
How am I notified?
Case 1: I notice an attack or a major event
Case 2: I've been warned by someone
If the threat comes from outside (chemical attack, terrorist attack in a nearby building...), the message sent by the warning system will encourage people to :
- to take shelter
- apply the instructions given in these areas by a contact person in liaison with the crisis unit (confine yourself, wait for the police to organize evacuation, etc.).
These zones are indicated by the following visual:
Case 3: I am warned by the audible alert set up by the University
What resources?
In addition to the technical and logistical resources available at our sites, we have set up a warning system. When triggered :
- High-powered outdoor sirens will sound.
- Messages will be sent to indicate the nature of the alert (e-mail, sms, voice for reception and security posts).
Please note: only @umontpellier emails will be sent. If you wish to receive these messages by sms, you must register at the following address:

Case 1: evacuation

- evacuate to safety if possible (escape)
- hide if it's dangerous to leave

Case 2: Sheltering

University alert exercises
Drills will be carried out every year to test the alert system and remind people of the procedures in place at the university.
When the alert system is triggered, sirens will sound and messages will be sent simultaneously by e-mail to indicate the site concerned and the action to be taken (escape or take shelter).
Listen to the sound broadcast for these alerts:
If you have any questions, please send us an e-mail.
