Emergency Procedures

When an Immediate Response is Needed

Dial 911 for any situation that requires an immediate police, fire, or medical response.

When reporting an emergency, give the following information, as calmly and precisely as possible:

• Your full name and the telephone number from which you are calling.
• The nature and location of the emergency.
• Your location: the address or building, the room number or floor, area or department.
• What you know of the number of injured people and the extent of their injuries.
• Do not hang up until the person answering the call ends the conversation. Responders may need more information. If it is safe, designate someone to meet emergency personnel at the approach to the building.

Stay Calm.

Do your best to stay calm, assess the situation and protect yourself.

• If possible, locate at least two emergency exits in your area.
• Silence your cell phone if necessary.
• Use the telephone only for emergency purposes.
