These procedures were developed to help provide protection for students and employees when a disaster or serious threat to the campus community occurs. Student, employees and community members are encouraged to report any of the following concerns and to follow its respective protocol, which are posted on campus in every building, available online (see below), and in the free safety mobile app, LiveSafe.

In each situation, Sewanee police personnel, as delegated to the emergency dispatcher and chief or assistant chiefs, will assess the situation and determine what notification to send and to whom to send communications, in addition to responding appropriately. Police are also responsible for follow-up communications, such as “all clear” notifications.
