  • Emergency Telephones
    Emergency telephones have been installed in buildings at Ocala and Citrus campuses and the Hampton Center. Telephones in the Learning Resources Center, Bryant Student Union, Ewers Century Center and University Center allow calls off campus. Telephones at other locations connect directly to the Public Safety Office.
  • Automated External Defibrillators, AEDs
    AEDs are available in the event an individual goes into cardiac distress and may be utilized until emergency personnel arrive on scene. Public Safety Officers and some college personnel have been trained in the use of the AEDs.
