Emergency Blue Light Phones

More than 300 “Blue Light” or Public Emergency Response Telephones (PERT) are installed throughout the campus in both interior and exterior locations. In the event of an emergency, simply activating one of the phones will immediately notify personnel in the Emergency Communications Center of the caller’s location. If a caller is unable to speak or remain with the phone, ECC personnel will dispatch police to the phone’s location. 

Blue Light phones are either mounted on a wall or encased within a tall blue freestanding pole and are marked “Emergency.” The phones typically have blue lights overhead, making their locations easier to find.
