Drone threat: we follow authorities’ guidance in exceptional circumstances

In the early hours of 15 May 2026, a temporary recommendation to avoid moving outdoors was issued in Uusimaa due to a drone threat. By 7:00, the danger had passed.

In such exceptional circumstances, government authorities provide a reliable and upto-date picture of the situation in their official communications, as well as instructions that everyone should follow. You can access official announcements in Finnish, Swedish and English on the 112.fi website and in the Suomi112 app, which is available free of charge for all mobile phones.

Uniarts Helsinki has its own crisis management team, which will convene on the week starting on 18 May to discuss preparedness measures concerning the university. You can find more information about crisis management at Uniarts Helsinki on Artsi.

Students and staff will be informed of any guidelines and instructions related to the possible cancellation of events and teaching and to special arrangements.
