Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies or disasters can happen at any time, and they usually occur without warning. When an emergency (such as a fire or hazardous materials release) occurs, our safety and prompt recovery will depend on existing levels of preparedness and a thoughtful response among students, faculty, staff and visitors.

The Assistant Vice President for Public Safety and Emergency Management has been charged with the responsibility of emergency preparedness at The George Washington University. You can contact Public Safety and Emergency Management at 202.994.3234.
