Get Emergency Access to NYC Buildings
The Corporate Emergency Access System (CEAS) pre-credentials essential employees for access to restricted areas following an emergency. When activated, the system allows these employees to shut down or sustain core business functions until normal entry is restored. CEAS is the only emergency access program recognized by the NYC Police Department and the NYC Office of Emergency Management. If there is a major disruption in your work location, CEAS may enable you to:
- Gain access to your facility.
- Rescue valued assets such as cash, checks, receipts, and certificates.
- Retrieve vital records such as contracts, invoices, customer records, insurance documents, tax records, and licenses.
- Shut down technology or industrial systems.
- Restore essential building functions.
- Retrieve critical equipment, such as laptops and servers.
Only a percentage of the total employees reporting to each specific location may be considered "essential" and permitted to receive access cards to that location (percentages range from 25% of total employees for smaller organizations to 10% for larger corporations). CEAS cards begin at $50 per standard card for two years. For more information about the CEAS program or to enroll, please visit www.nyc.gov/ceas or www.ceas.com.
