Call x66911 and notify the dispatcher of the accident location, the number of casualties and if
any campus structures are involved.
Notify your supervisor if the crash scene is close to your building.
Evacuate the building if the smoke from the crash scene moves in your direction.

- Attempt to keep the victims calm and reassure them that assistance is on the way.
- Upon arrival of emergency personnel, notify them of the number of injured and their locations.
