   • Type of emergency
   • Address of facility

   • Phone number they are calling from if asked
   • Further information requested from 911 or Campus Public Safety operator
2. Send someone outside of building to meet and direct EMS and Campus Public Safety
3. Start CPR immediately until Campus Public Safety or EMS (911) arrives with an AED
   
   • 911 and Campus Public Safety should know where inside the building or where on the grounds you are so that they respond to the location quickly
   • Any trained CPR/AED First Responder should begin the AED treatment procedure if you are close to an AED location until EMS (911) or Campus Public Safety arrives. Retrieve an AED or send someone to retrieve an AED. Remember to contact 911 and Campus Public Safety immediately. If people are available at the scene, direct one person to contact 911 and someone else to contact Campus Public Safety simultaneously.

4. If a medical problem is non-life threatening, call the Department of Public Safety & Security.
   
   1. If the victim can be safely moved than he/she will either be transported by security personnel to the Lawrence Hospital Emergency Room or to Health Services, depending on the severity of the medical problem and the time of day.
   2. The victim can also request to speak to a doctor over the phone to decide whether a visit to the emergency room is appropriate.
   3. If security personnel believe that a victim should not be moved or that emergency medical care is required immediately, then they will call 911.
