Emergencies on campus: Who to call if something goes wrong
Emergency situations should be reported to law enforcement by dialing 911. When 911 is dialed, the Iowa City Police Department will receive the call and contact the University Department of Public Safety (DPS) using a dedicated line between the two departments if the incident is located on University property. The 911 call also will appear on a computer screen in the DPS dispatch center.
For building emergencies, call 5-5071
Building emergencies include those problems that can cause escalating damage to University facilities and property if not attended to quickly. An example of a building emergency would be flooding (e.g., a toilet overflowing). Facilities Services Group has someone on stand-by 24-hours per day/7 days per week to respond to emergency situations. For emergencies of this nature, always dial the Work Control Center at (33)5-5071. During normal working hours (Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.), your call will be answered. After hours and weekends, you will get a recorded message that will prompt you to press "0" to speak to someone directly about a building emergency.
