In the event of an emergency or crisis:

  1. Remain calm. Others will respond as you do during the crisis.
  2. Ensure that you are in a safe location and out of harm’s way.
  3. Contact Public Safety using any “Blue Light” emergency phone or by calling 6-3911 or 209.946.2537 and report the facts and important information. Do NOT hang up until told to do so.
  4. Stay alert, size up the situation, follow the instructions of emergency personnel, take action based on the known facts and adhere to the guidelines outlined on this website.
  5. In any emergency situation, the Pacific Alert Team will coordinate the university’s response. One of the Pacific Alert Team Co-chairs will serve as the Incident Commander. The president of the university (or her/his designated appointee) will have ultimate responsibility and authority for the implementation of all emergency procedures.
  6. Refer all media inquiries to the media relations staff in the Office of Marketing and Communications. This staff will work with the media to ensure that information is offered in a timely and efficient manner.
