Emergency 911 Phones
Red Emergency (911) Phones have been installed in the tornado shelter areas of campus buildings. When you lift the handset it will automatically dial 911 and reach Shawnee County Emergency dispatch The phones should only be used for reporting emergencies such as health or personal safety issues. Please note this is not a house phone or local access phone.
University Police will be able to call the phones to announce to occupants of the area when a tornado warning has been lifted and it is safe to exit the tornado shelters. To find the location of the tornado shelters on campus please go to the University Services tab on MyWashburn, then to the Campus Safety Information section. The phones are now on line to improve the health, safety and welfare of the campus community.
