• The Department of Public Safety regularly participates in both emergency and disaster training scenarios with the Village of River Forest Fire Department and Police Department, Cook County Department of Public Health, and other local emergency response entities.

• The University has a comprehensive Emergency Response Plan, reviewed, and updated annually, in which scenarios of potential emergency situations are specifically addressed. 
• RAVE Alert mass notification App is used to disseminate urgent information to all students, families, faculty, and staff, including off-campus undergraduate and graduate students.
• The University asks that students, faculty, and staff to immediately report any suspicious person or activity to the Department of Public Safety for the safety of the campus community.
• Students residing in campus residence halls are instructed to always keep doors closed and locked, and to not let in anyone who is not accompanied by a resident. Exterior doors to the residence halls may be accessed only by authorized students and staff possessing an electronic ID card or key fob.
