Emergency Preparedness

Information You Will Need to Provide in an Emergency

  • What type of help is needed (e.g., fire, police, ambulance, etc.)? For a medical emergency on campus, generally request both an ambulance and campus security. 

  • Where is the emergency situation, building, floor, and room number or location? 

  • What happened (e.g., overdose, fall, fire, etc.)? 

  • What phone number are you calling from?   

  • How many people need help? 

  • What is being done for the victim?  

NOTE: Let the person you called hang up the telephone first; you hang up last. If you must leave the phone, leave the phone off the hook so that the call can be traced.
