What To Do In An Emergency
While every emergency situation is unique, there are a few things we encourage you to do in every situation:

1. Stay calm.
2. Call the Lehigh University Police Department (LUPD)
   at 8-4200 (on-campus) or (610) 758-4200 (off-campus).
3. Do not put yourself or others in harm’s way.

For more detailed information on what to do during specific emergencies, see our emergency guide.

Communication During An Emergency
During an emergency, university officials will communicate with the Lehigh community using a variety of methods such as text messaging, emails, bullhorns, radio, television, the classroom announcement system and/or person to person contact.  See the resources page for more information.
