As part of the University’s ongoing efforts to enhance campus safety and security, a new system for notifying members of the university community in the event of a campus emergency will be launched this fall. The new system can provide text, email and telephone messages to students, faculty and staff in the event of a campus emergency, and will be used in conjunction with existing systems of communication, which include: broadcast email, broadcast voicemail, campus alert system (steam whistle), fire alarms, website announcements and updates (www.georgetown.edu, preparedness.georgetown.edu), inclement weather line (687-SNOW), cable television banner override, and building and floor marshals.

Student enrollment in this system is voluntary but strongly encouraged.

Students may enroll with their Net ID’s through Student Access+: http://limited.georgetown.edu/StudentAccess/

Faculty and staff may enroll through Employee Access+: http://limited.georgetown.edu/access

Students who experience any difficulty enrolling may contact the UIS help desk for assistance at 202-687-4949.

Any questions about the emergency notification system or other issues related to University safety, should be directed to the Office of University Safety at safety@georgetown.edu or 202-687-8291.
