  • Always dial 911 in case of an emergency. It is also important to have the numbers for the Police Department/Security on hand. 
  • Exposures are reported in PeopleSoft (https://hrprod.emory.edu).

  • Create an evacuation plan for your family and co-workers. 
  • Have a meeting place at home and at work in case of separation. 
  • Designate alternate routes if roads are inaccessible.
