Preparedness Activites at Emory
To fulfill both our vision and mission we must partner with various schools, departments, organizations, groups and governing bodies. Below is a brief list of our many partners and colleagues that we engage in our preparedness efforts.

Student Groups
- American Red Cross Campus Club at Emory promotes awareness of emergency preparedness on campus, recognizes the need to be individually prepared for emergencies and to leverage our classroom skills in a crisis response. The ARC Campus Club provides Red Cross services to students and the local community. The club is supported and led by Emory University students.
- Emory EMS (EEMS) is a student-run, volunteer, quick response emergency medical service and unit of the Special Services Division of the Emory University Police Department.
