What
to do during a utility failure:
In the event if a utility failure (water,
electric, heat) immediately call the Public Safety Department at (96)2-5100. Be prepared
to give:
- Building Name:
- Floor
- Room Number
- Nature of Problem
- Person to Contact and
telephone extension:
St. Thomas does have emergency power.
However, emergency power is not in every building and some of the emergency power is
limited in duration. In the event of an electrical power failure, the Public Safety
Department, in cooperation with the Physical Plant Department, will determine the nature
of the problem and will determine whether or not any building needs to be evacuated.
The campus-wide telephone system has a
limited amount of emergency power and may or may not be directly affected. In the event
the telephone system becomes inoperative, there are emergency phones that may be
operational. These phones are marked "POWER FAILURE" on the number plate and can
be found at the following locations.

where to go.
Public Safety will also assist in securing

university personnel and students.
