Emergency Preparedness

In reaction to our nation’s alert status, and current world events, Thomas Jefferson University and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital have taken steps to support you and our campus community during these times of heightened concern. When government officials raise the national alert status, they are telling us to be more aware and vigilant. Information is the key to awareness, and increased information enhances our vigilance. Therefore we encourage you to visit and read the sites we have provided on this page. Each site is designed to help us cope with our present situation, and to support us, should our community experience a hostile act. Bookmark this page now, and refer to it often as you prepare to protect yourself and loved ones.

Report Any Suspicious Activity

The Thomas Jefferson University Security Department encourages you to "BE ALERT" and "REPORT" any concern or suspicious activity. From an on campus phone, dial 811 to report an emergency or call 215-955-8888 if you are off campus. The Security Department Response Center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you think something is a concern CALL US immediately. We will respond to investigate, and we are able to contact appropriate agencies to support our response.
