REMEMBER: When reporting an emergency, information can be more important than speed in providing the proper response. Please:
- Take time to talk with the person on the phone
- Be prepared to respond to questions they will have
- Stay on the line until instructed to do otherwise
The City of Longview EMS ambulance service does not charge any fee for responding to a medical emergency or for treating injuries. Charges are only incurred when they transport an individual for further medical treatment.
In an Emergency...
When calling in an emergency to off- or on-campus emergency response teams, state:
- your name
- the nature of the emergency
- the location
- and type of assistance required.
Stay on the phone until the operator dismisses you, then go to a location from which to direct emergency vehicles or services.
If 911 is dialed, next call University Police at (903) 233-4444, or have someone else call if possible, and explain the emergency. Often, trained campus personnel can assist or provide immediate care as well as communicate directly with the emergency responders.
