HawkWatch Personal Safety App and Alerts

The HawkWatch personal safety app is the official mobile app from Lehigh University and is offered for free to all members of the campus community. We strongly encourage all members of the Lehigh community to download this app. The HawkWatch app is custom designed for Lehigh University and includes a number of options that can help in an emergency situation. It also puts the user in direct contact with Campus Safety Communications. It is the equivalent of a mobile blue light phone in the palm of the user’s hand. In addition, the app provides quick and easy access to useful information such as directions in emergency situations, and emergency contacts and support resources. It can also serve as a Lehigh bus tracker, provide links for reporting a tip, and offer users a quick and easy way to request safety programs.

If you do not have a smartphone, you can still receive text messages from HawkWatch. Text LEHIGH to 237233 to subscribe to alerts. Text STOP to cancel. Standard message and data rates may apply. To verify that you are registered to receive HawkWatch Alerts, to check if your information is correct, or to opt out, please visit the HawkWatch alert registration page. You must opt in to receive SMS Text Messages and voice messages.
