Emergency Communication

Actions to Take

For police or medical emergencies:

  • Dial 9-1-1 from any campus phone, pay phone or cell phone
  • Use Emergency Call Boxes, campus emergency phones or elevator emergency phones/intercoms
  • If necessary, the campus fire alarm pull-boxes can be used to summon an emergency response from UCPD
  • Note: There is no charge for calling 9-1-1 from a pay phone
  • Note: Dialing 9-1-1 from a cell phone will contact the nearest California Highway Patrol Dispatch Center (there may be a delay in answering your call) and they will transfer your call to UCPD

For fire, earthquake, or campus closures:

  • Only use telephones or cell phones to dial 9-1-1 for emergency situations
  • Listen to radio bulletins, watch television news, and check the UCR homepage
