Use Blue Help Phones

During October, there will be a few safety issues addressed on the UCBA Campus.  First, be prepared for the first fire drill of the semester, which will be taking place sometime in the month.

In addition, there are flaws within the process of dialing “911” from the UCBA campus that should be resolved sometime in the near future.

Currently, if you attempt to call “911” on a cellular device from anywhere on the UCBA campus, your call does not go directly to the UC dispatch.  Instead, your call goes to Hamilton dispatch, which then transfers your call to the UC dispatch, losing valuable time in an emergency situation.

Until this issue is fixed, there are Blue Help Phone stations (see photo) located around campus that go directly to UC dispatch in the event of an emergency.  There are also phones on the walls of the classrooms that also go directly to UC dispatch in the case of an emergency.  

However, neither of these sources are able to make regular calls past the campus limits, so use a cell phone if you need to reach a source that is not located on UCBA’s campus.
