In case of a fire, the observer should immediately contact the Illinois State University Police Department by dialing "911." Calls from campus phones are routed to the Illinois State University Police Department (ISUPD), where a dispatcher is on duty 24 hours a day. The dispatcher will contact the Normal Fire Department for assistance. Note: If calling from a cell phone or off campus phone, your call will be routed to Metcom, a county wide dispatch center. Please advise the operator that the call is an ISU campus emergency.

Please review your Emergency Alerts contact information periodically, and remember to update your points of contact as they change.
