With an up-to-date volunteer database, Lehigh University will have a quick access to potential volunteers to assist at a moment’s notice.

For more information on the Building Monitors Program, visit the Environmental Health and Safety Web site at https:// campussafety.lehigh.edu/environmental-health-safety • Participate in all announced and unannounced fire drills. • Begin to evacuate at the first sign of smoke, fire alarm or an evacuation notice. • Do not return to your building until cleared by on- location emergency personnel or you are notified by an official campus communication. • Download the HawkWatch personal safety app, which puts the user in direct contact with the Campus Safety dispatcher, provides critical information on how to respond to emergency situations, tracks Lehigh University buses and allows the user to quickly access emergency resources.
