Medical emergencies are sudden illnesses or injuries that require immediate help, and a medical emergency policy sets out what a person on site should do when one occurs.
What the catalog says
The instruction is short: “If you or someone else is facing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1.”
9-1-1 is the emergency telephone number used in the United States to reach police, fire, and emergency medical services.
The same section covers fire: “If you detect smoke or a fire, call 9-1-1 immediately.”
It then directs: “Leave the building immediately once the alarm activates.”
And: “Do not spend time looking for particular items such as backpack, purse, or phone.”
After leaving: “Meet at the campus designated area once you have evacuated the building.”
For earthquakes: “If an earthquake strikes take cover immediately under a sturdy object.”
Once the shaking stops: “Do not move seriously injured individuals.”
