Emergency Preparedness

Employees and local community partners of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) are available to respond to emergencies at all hours throughout the year. In the event of an emergency, the EOC will provide safety guidance and timely communications until resolved. The EOC and many other members of the campus community meet regularly to receive crisis training and plan for various emergencies.

In the event of an emergency or crisis, campus alerts and communications will be broadcast via our Colgate Alert text and phone system, and campus email.

Be Ready. Be Safe.
