 Staying Safe in the Dark

If a power outage occurs, remain calm and notify Campus Safety & Security.

Keep a flashlight with fresh batteries in your room.

Provide assistance to others in your immediate area who may be unfamiliar with their surroundings.

If you are in an unlighted area, proceed cautiously to an area that has emergency lights.

If you are in an elevator, stay calm. Use the emergency button or telephone to alert University officials.

Should the telephone system go down, please be aware that the house phones in the lobbies and entrances to residence halls and apartment complexes are on an independent system and can be utilized during an outage.

In the case of a black-out, always follow the instructions of University personnel.
