Einstein Campus Emergency Information
Albert Einstein College of Medicine is committed to providing a secure environment for its faculty, staff, postdoctoral fellows, students, and visitors.
Emergency Notification System
Einstein uses the platform Everbridge for disseminating mass notifications during emergencies and when testing the notification system. Whenever we send an emergency notification through Everbridge, you may receive a combination of email, voice, and text/SMS messages. Please follow all instructions. By confirming receipt of a particular message, you signal the system to stop sending subsequent attempts to any of your additional contact options.
To Register
- emergencyalerts@einsteinmed.edu to request an invitation to sign up.
- Provide your Einstein email address and Banner number when requesting registration.
- An email will be sent with the link that will allow you to enter your preferred contact information.
To Register Other Campus Residents
- Students and postdocs who have non-Einstein spouses or child caretakers on campus who you wish to be notified in the event of a campus emergency must email emergencyalerts@einsteinmed.edu to enroll them in Everbridge.
