Emory Emergency Services

Blue Light Phones

The Blue Light Phones are mounted on poles with blue lights on top. The more than 40 phones, located through the entire campus, provide a direct phone link to the Emory Police Communications Center, manned 24-hours-a-day. If you have or know of a crime, fire, or medical emergency that is occurring, or need to request an escort, simply pick up the handset or press the "call" button and you will be connected to a 911 operator.

Emory Emergency Medical Service (EEMS)

Emory EMS is a volunteer EMS organization, operated by students, with oversight from Emory’s Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response.

EEMS provides a medical first responder service for emergency medical care to Emory University students, faculty, staff, visitors, and the surrounding community. EEMS operates 24 hours per day, seven days per week during the fall and spring semesters. The response area includes Emory University’s Clifton Campus and the immediate surrounding facilities, businesses, and roads.  EEMS works in coordination with local EMS and fire departments responding to emergency and 911-based calls in the Emory community. In addition, it provides medical standby services for university events. The program also has a strong commitment to community outreach and education.
