Physical Safety and Communications
Faculty, staff and students have access to Rave Guardian, the companion app to Â鶹¹ÙÍø-Alert, Â鶹¹ÙÍø's emergency notification service. This free mobile app connects you to Â鶹¹ÙÍø-Alert notifications and Â鶹¹ÙÍø Police, and offers helpful features, such as a safety timer to notify contacts if you don't arrive to your destination as expected. Carnegie Mellon also has emergency communications devices across campus, as well as an evening shuttle service for local commuters.
