New Protocol for Onsite Cellular Emergency Calls

The Lab is in the process of requesting that all onsite 911 cellular telephone calls be handled by the UC Police Department (UCPD) dispatch center in order to improve the response time by emergency personnel. While this request is being processed, cell phone users can use 510-486-7911 in the event of an onsite emergency. Be ready to give the 911 operator detailed information about the location of the emergency. It may be helpful to add this 10 digit number to the speed dial list on your phone. This is only an interim solution until approval is obtained to rout the Lab's onsite 911 cellular telephone calls directly to UCPD.
