Emergency phones have been installed in six strategic locations around campus.

Also referred to as "blue phones", they have an attention-getting blue strobe mounted atop the units.

The blue light is continually lit, and the strobe is activated when the emergency button is pressed.

The phones contain two buttons.

A red emergency button which calls 911, and a black button, which calls the wwu switchboard to summon assistance for non-emergency situations such as lock-outs and dead batteries.
