Protective Actions
GW has adopted four Protective Actions (Shelter, Secure, Lockdown, and Evacuate) to provide standardized guidance for use across incidents. In an emergency, campus safety officials will share the Protective Action messages through GW Alert, on-campus displays, and via other communications, such as social media.
Emergency Response Handbook
The GW Emergency Response Handbook provides action steps on what to do in a variety of situations. Being prepared for different situations makes the GW community better able to response when they happen.
Adverse Weather Procedure
In the event of adverse weather conditions George Washington University may alter its operating status based on the overall concern for the safety and wellbeing of the university community. Members of the university community are expected to understand their responsibilities with respect to changes in the operating status of any GW location.
