How should you respond to an attack or major incident at the University?
The specific safety plan is an organizational plan designed to ensure people's safety in the event of a major incident or intrusion attack.
How is the PPMS triggered?
Crisis units are set up at each site. They activate the Specific Safety Plan (PPMS) when necessary.
How will I be notified?
Case 1: I witness an attack or a major incident
Case 2: I am warned by someone
If the threat comes from outside (chemical attack, terrorist attack in a neighboring building, etc.), the message sent by the alert system will encourage people to:
- to take shelter
- to apply the instructions issued in these areas via a representative linked to the crisis unit (stay indoors, wait for the police to organize the evacuation, etc.)
These areas are indicated by the following visual:
Case 3: I am alerted by the audible alarm set up by the university.
What means?
In addition to the technical and logistical resources specific to each institution, an alert system has been set up. When it is triggered:
- High-powered outdoor sirens will sound.
- Messages will be sent to indicate the nature of the alert (email, text message, voice message for reception areas and security posts).
Please note: only @umontpellier email addresses will receive these messages. If you would like to receive these messages by text message, you must register at the following address:

Exercises will be carried out each year to test the alert system and remind people of the measures put in place at the university.
When the alert system is triggered, a sound will be broadcast by sirens and messages will be sent simultaneously by email to indicate the site concerned and the action to be taken (escape or take shelter).
