The Office of Emergency Management and Access Control (EMAC) helps protect the university community by preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergencies while managing secure access to campus facilities. Working in partnership with Public Safety and campus leaders, the office oversees emergency planning, drills, training, threat assessments, and continuity strategies to strengthen campus resilience. EMAC also manages building access control systems, university ID credentials, and related services through the Tiger Card Service Center.

Emergency Preparedness is Everyone’s Responsibility

Prepared for Every Challenge. Dedicated to Campus Resilience.

Emergencies can happen at any time and sometimes with little to no warning, and it’s important that all Trinity Tigers know what to do and how to stay informed before, during, and after a campus emergency. Trinity University has many resources to help keep you safe and prepared, and you are encouraged to explore and bookmark this site as part of your own personal preparedness.

Most importantly, we have a shared responsibility to help one another in times of crisis. Be Tiger Ready!
