Medical Emergencies

How to Respond to a Medical Emergency

  • On-campus, dial 402-559-5555.
  • Give dispatch your exact location – such as building name and room number, parking lot – and a telephone number where you can be reached.
  • Briefly describe the medical condition of the individual and, if possible, provide the person's name.
  • Do not move a seriously injured person unless it is a lifesaving situation.
  • If possible, have someone posted to meet emergency personnel and lead them to your location.

On our Omaha campus, find locations of automatic defibrillators and stop-the-bleed kits, listed by building.
