Emergency Planning
As part of its comprehensive approach to protecting the college community and preparing for any emergency, Davidson has in place emergency planning protocols that include emergency response and evacuation plans, emergency communication plans, and trained building captains to assist in an emergency.
Emergency Notification (SSAFER)
Davidson's Student, Staff, and Faculty Emergency Response system, SSAFER, uses a layered notification approach to alert students, faculty and staff to emergencies and provide safety instructions via text messages, emails, voice messages, and live spoken instructions.
The system enables the college to quickly inform faculty, staff and students of an emergency, such as an armed assailant on campus, chemical spill, tornado warning and more.
The directions communicated in a SSAFER alert supersede all other obligations, whether class or work.
