In the event of serious illness and/or injury:

1. Call 9-1-1.
2. Do not move the victim unless absolutely necessary.
3. In case of heart attack or if breathing has stopped, call 9-1-1. A University Police Officer will respond. University Police Officers are trained in CPR and first aid procedures.
4. Be alert for any jewelry with an inscription indicating a medical condition (for example: epilepsy, diabetes, heart condition) or other medical information. Bring this to the officer's attention as soon as he/she arrives on the scene.
5. Comfort the victim as much as possible and try to keep him/her calm.
