Emergency preparedness is a group effort that involves all members of the WashU community. To do your part:

We can’t warn you if we can’t reach you. Make sure you are able to receive WashUAlerts by reviewing your contact information in HRMS and downloading the WUSTL app (iOS/Apple devices and Android devices). View this flier for step by step instructions (PDF).

In an emergency, information can save lives. Educate yourself on emergency procedures by reviewing the Be Prepared section of this website!



Protecting yourself means paying attention. Know your surroundings and be aware. Report any suspicious activity to WUPD (Danforth, West and North campuses – 314-935-5555) or Protective Services (Medical campus – 314-362-4357).



Your safety depends on you. Take action if you receive a WashUAlert. Follow any instructions that are included and await additional information.

Introducing WashU Safe

The university has a new safety app, WashU Safe! This app offers enhanced features such as Friend Walk, Mobile Bluelight, safety notifications, access to emergency procedures and MORE! For more information, visit SafeApp.wustl.edu.

New WashU Screening Tool

Beginning June 1, WashU employees must use the new screening tool prior to arriving on campus. The online WashU COVID-19 Screening Tool can be accessed at screening.wustl.edu. You will log in with your WUSTL key and will be asked about common COVID-19 symptoms and recent exposure. You will be prompted to record your temperature. For more information, visit the COVID-19 restrictions and screening for campus access page.

Subscribe to Crime Alerts and Security Memos

Members of the Danforth and Medical Campus communities have the option to opt in to notifications from all campuses, rather than only receiving crime alerts or security memos for their primary campus. To opt in to notifications or get more information, visit the Subscribe to Crime Alerts/Security Memos page.
