When there is a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of the University community, an Emergency Mass Notification (EMN) is written and distributed without delay to the entire University community using the campus EMN systems.  Please follow this web link to register your mobile phone in the EMN system:

UTILITIES OUTAGES EMERGENCY PHONE CALL LIST

If your teaching or research activities require that you be notified as soon as possible of campus utility outages, such as loss of electrical power or chilled water, then you will need to sign up for the automated phone messaging system provided by Facilities Customer Service.  Please note that this service will automatically call the phone number(s) you provide to report an incident, regardless of time of day or day of week.  If you would like to sign up for this service, then please contact Todd Pfeiffer at tap66@cornell.edu and include the phone number(s) you would like to register for this program.
