   2. Notify public safety of the incident by calling (503) 491-7310.
   3. When calling 7911 or “503-491-7911” or 911, the caller should remain calm and be prepared to provide the operator with the following information:
      1. Caller’s name and telephone extension;
      2. Location of victim;
      3. Condition of victim and special medical information if known;
      4. Type and degree of injury and part of body affected.
   4. The victim should not be moved if there is the slightest possibility that this could cause further injury.  A public safety officer (Gresham campus) will determine whether 911 should be called and will be responsible for immediate care of the victim.  All public safety officers have standard First Aid training.
