Which action should be taken in case of an emergency situation on campus?

In the context of an emergency situation on campus, promptly notifying LSUHSC-NO Police is key to ensuring a swift and effective response. The LSUHSC-NO Police are equipped and trained to handle various emergencies, including medical situations, security threats, or fire hazards. They have direct access to resources and can coordinate with other emergency services as needed.

While calling 911 is certainly an appropriate action in many emergencies, the specific guidance to notify campus police emphasizes the importance of contacting local authorities who are familiar with the campus environment and can respond quickly. By alerting campus police first, you can potentially expedite the response process, as they may already be aware of the situation and have protocols in place to manage emergencies effectively.

Informing a friend or ignoring the situation would not provide any assistance and could lead to delays in addressing the emergency, putting individuals at greater risk. Therefore, notifying LSUHSC-NO Police is the most appropriate and effective immediate action to take.
