Saint Mary's Gael Safe App
Introducing the Gael Safe App
Saint Mary’s College of California is putting safety in the hands of SMC community members. From sharing info on concerning behavior to reporting safety hazards, Gael Safe allows students and Campus Safety to communicate in two-way, real-time interactions.
Gael Safe offers a number of features to help keep our campus community safe. Students, staff, and faculty can sign up for campus messages and notifications, for example, including fire safety information, building evacuation plans, and timely information on emergencies and disasters.
Features That Offer Peace of Mind
Other features include the ability to have Campus Safety check on you if you are working or studying alone; you can also have the app auto-call you every hour, and if you do not answer, one of your designated emergency contacts is notified along with your shared GPS coordinates.
