This Campus Emergency Guide is designed to give guidance on how to handle various emergency situations on the campus of Franciscan University of Steubenville. In any emergency, you are instructed to call 911 or Campus Security at 740-283-6911. Special emergency telephones that ring directly into the Campus Security Office are located strategically throughout the campus. Outdoor emergency phones are marked with a blue light.

Each specific emergency situation is unique; for that reason, no emergency guide can ever be comprehensive. However, in any emergency, it is always recommended that you remain calm; always be aware of the situation around you; and always report emergencies to Campus Security as soon as reasonably possible.

This guide is designed with recommendations on how to prepare for various emergency situations.
