To update your emergency contact information in Weill Cornell Alert, follow the instructions on the Updating Weill Cornell Alert page.
Emergency Response Guides
WCM has prepared response guides for many types of emergencies (e.g., active shooter, bomb threat, fire, hurricane, hazardous material spills, and severe weather) which may impact the College.
Building-Specific Fire Safety and Evacuation Procedures (intranet only)
Fire safety and evacation procedures have been developed for each building where students, faculty and staff have classes and/or work. These Building-Specific FIre Safety and Evacuationb Procedures are included in the WCM Fire Safety and Emergency Action Plan available on the EHS intranet. Please note that student Residential Fire Safety Plans are seperate response guides for buildings where students are housed and available at the website below.
Residential fire safety plans and notices have been established to provide general fire prevention and preparedness information and help protect occupants in the event of a residential fire. These plans and notices also provide basic building information, including construction details, exits, and evacuation instructions. Short summary videos also provide building-specific evacuation procedures as well as vital emergency preparedness information.
These response guides outline the steps WCM students should follow in response to emergencies, in addition to the emergency-specific guidance provided by the WCM Emergency Operations Team.
This guide is a summary of the security features available at clinical teaching locations attended by WCM students during clerkship rotation.
