If you have an emergency situation, use any campus phone to dial 9-911 or CAT-COPS (228-2677). Campus dispatch will contact the appropriate response group to aid you.

 Emergency Planning and Response

The key to getting through any emergency situation is being prepared. While you can't plan for every single conceivable eventuality, you can work up a few credible scenarios based on experience and location (earthquake, fire, etc.) and collect supplies, design and practice evacuation plans, and ensure there is a method for your department being able to account for the whereabouts of all its employees in the event of an emergency.

In this section of our website, you will find resources to help you create an emergency response plan for your department and information about campus procedures and policies regarding emergency events.
