Emory's Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response (CEPAR) works with teams from across the university to ensure the sustainability and safety of the community. CEPAR is working with our partners the National Weather Service and Weather Decision Technologies to monitor forecasts related to Hurricane Michael.

CEPAR will continue to monitor evolving forecasts and will assess potential threats to the Emory community. Should weather threats be identified, additional information will be provided to the community. 

You should take the following steps to be better prepared for weather emergencies: 

• Finalize your plan now.
• Know where to seek shelter during a weather emergency.
• Know what to do during a weather emergency.
• Stay weather aware.

CEPAR strongly encourages those in the Emory community to download the LiveSafe app for preparedness and safety resources available on a mobile device. For general information on preparedness and safety, go to the CEPAR website.
