CEPAR (Center for Emergency Preparedness and Response)

The Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response (CEPAR) serves as the center for Emory enterprise-wide planning for and coordinated response to catastrophic events affecting Emory and the broader community. Learn more about CEPAR.

Emergency Notification System

The Emory Emergency Notification program is a multi-modal system for alerting students, staff, faculty and visitors of an emergency affecting the Emory community. The wide array of notification options affords Emory the flexibility to convey emergency information in the most appropriate manner and provides redundancy to help ensure the message gets out. Not all emergencies require all of the notification components to be engaged simultaneously.

Students can access the Emergency Alert Information page by logging into OPUS or PeopleSoft. Students should enter their cell phone number and provider information. Students should be sure to update their information if changes to cell phone number or mobile carrier occur.

LiveSafe App

LiveSafe is a personal safety mobile app that Emory University is providing to all students, faculty, and staff to download for free. The app provides a quick, convenient, and discreet way to communicate directly with Emory University safety officials, enhancing your overall safety and allowing Emory University Police to better protect you. We encourage all students to download the LiveSafe App.
