What is the appropriate action to report an emergency on the Main Campus?

Using the designated number listed on your badge is the most appropriate action for reporting an emergency on the Main Campus. This method typically connects you directly to security or emergency response personnel who can mobilize help quickly. The presence of this number ensures that reports are made to the right authorities promptly, which is critical in emergency situations where every second counts.

While other actions, such as using the emergency intercom system or sending an email, might seem like reasonable alternatives, they may not guarantee immediate response. Emails can be delayed and might not reach the necessary personnel in time. The emergency intercom system can be effective but may not be available in all places. Waiting for someone else to report the emergency could lead to unnecessary delays and put individuals at further risk. Hence, having a direct line of communication by calling the designated number is the best course of action for ensuring a swift response.
