Emory's Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response (CEPAR) is working with teams across the University to ensure the sustainability and safety of the community. There is no need to evacuate Emory campuses; the community will follow the procedures to shelter in place should we need to do so. The University’s emergency notification system will be used to send out urgent actionable information.

CEPAR strongly encourages those in the Emory community to download the LiveSafe app for preparedness and safety resources available on a mobile device. For general information on preparedness and safety, go to the CEPAR website. Make a plan now. Know where to seek shelter, know what to do during a weather emergency, and stay weather aware.
