Personal Emergency Guide

In general, for any of the following situations, or any other situation involving uncertainty or emergency, call CAMPUS SECURITY (893-4190). Every payphone on the NSAC campus has a button labeled “NSAC Security.” This security button is NOT the digit #1 button. Instead, it is below the numeric keypad. No coin is required to operate the NSAC Security button, and this button will access NSAC Security 24-hours a day. Just pick up the receiver and press the NSAC Security button.

The following situations are dealt with below:

A. Threatening E-mail Message

B. Call for Help E-mail Message

C. Person on Site and in Distress

D. Unknown or Suspicious Person on Campus

E. Missing Person

A. Threatening E-mail Message

If a student receives a threatening E-mail message:

Call Campus Security (893-4190). Campus Security will contact Information Technology Services (Office 893-7933) with the details. They will determine the source of the message and if the source is another academic institution, ITS will contact the institution. Campus Security will also contact the Dean of Student Services (893-7915) with the details.

If the threat is of a serious nature, the Dean of Student Services or the Assistant Dean of Health Services will assist the student receiving the message to contact the RCMP.

B. “Call for Help” E-mail Message

If anyone receives an E-mail message calling for help or indicating trouble:

Call Campus Security (893-4190) and contact Information Technology Services (Office 893-7933 or ITS Helpdesk 893-6308) with the details. Information Technology Services will determine the source of the message and will ask a staff person in that area to contact the individual who sent the message to monitor the safety and condition of that individual.

If the safety or condition of the individual who sent the message is not at risk, a judicial report of the incident should be submitted by Information Technology Services, or by the person who received the e-mail message, to Student Services.

If the safety or condition of the individual is at risk, the staff person in contact with the individual who sent the message will immediately call or arrange for someone to call 911 (9-911 on campus office phones; for payphones just press 911), and will also contact Health Services (893-6300), as appropriate, and the Dean of Student Services (893-7915).

C. Person On-Site and in Distress

If anyone witnesses a person who is in any kind of physical or emotional trauma which endangers the safety of that person or anyone else, emergency first aid procedures should be implemented immediately by those present who are trained to do so. Someone must immediately call 911 and call Campus Security (893-4190). Also, if during business hours, call Health Services (893-6300) and Student Services (893-6672)

D. Unknown or Suspicious Person on Campus

DO NOT approach the person yourself! Call Campus Security (893-4190) immediately.
