For all emergencies that require law enforcement
and in the case of fire, ALWAYS call 911
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 standby 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.
