This web site is a backup emergency information portal for the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas.
Plans are to activate and use this site in the event that normal UTMB web-based communication venues go offline or become otherwise unavailable. This site has also been designed to allow designated contacts within UTMB’s large entities or departments to access and use utmb.info to communicate with their employees, students other constituents or customers.
Messages appear at the top of the home page as they are posted. Visitors may view all messages, or sort them by category (entity or department). Comments will be enabled when the site is activated and in use, providing a bulletin board function for the UTMB community. If you have questions, comments or suggestions, please contact Pep Valdes in the Office of University Advancement at (409) 772-2618.
