COVID-19 Information

Cornell is operating at COVID-19 alert level green, indicating case prevalence at or below predicted levels.  We ask all members of our community to take voluntary actions to help curb the spread, including wearing a mask in all social settings, staying at home if you feel unwell and accessing symptomatic testing. Masks are required in classrooms, laboratories and similar teaching settings; health care and COVID-19 testing facilities; and busses or Cornell-owned vehicles being utilized for multi-occupancy travel.  Supplemental and opt-in surveillance testing is also available. Visit the university’s COVID-19 website for additional information.


Welcome to Cornell’s Emergency Management web site.

This website provides the Cornell community with important information before, during, and after campus emergencies.  We encourage you to bookmark this site and explore it to better prepare before an emergency occurs.

Emergency Messages

CornellALERT is the university’s emergency notification system and is used for situations involving an immediate threat to the health and safety of the community.  Active CornellALERT messages appear in the right sidebar of this website (at the top of the page on mobile and small screen devices).

You can receive alerts on your cellular phone if you have provided your contact information or installed the Rave Guardian app and activated it for the Cornell Ithaca Campus. Messages are also sent to the @cornell.edu e-mail addresses of current students, employees, and affiliates.

If you receive a CornellALERT message you should promptly follow the directions given in the message and monitor this emergency web site for additional information.

What to do in an Emergency

CALL 911 for any situation that requires IMMEDIATE police, fire, or medical response to preserve life or property. From cellular phones call Cornell Police at 607-255-1111 or use a Blue Light or indoor emergency phone.

The Emergency Action Guide provides information about what you should do in the case of various emergencies. The Emergency Action Guide appears in the left sidebar of this website and moves to the bottom of the page on mobile and small screen devices. Take a few minutes to read through the guides so you know what actions to take during an emergency.
