Calling 911 In case of a life-threatening emergency, call 911 ! Remember, this is not for sore throats, nausea, light fever - unless you are concerned that it is indicative of a more severe, lifethreatening situation. If you call 911 from a cell phone while on campus, be sure to call Security at x6555 as well to let them know so that they can assist the ambulance. There is no charge for the EMT's to come but if you are transported in an ambulance, there is a significant fee that your insurance may/may not cover, depending upon your insurance. But if it is an emergency, call! Transportation If you need to get treatment and do not have transportation, contact your RA/CA, the Hall Director on duty, or Security. <strong>Macalester</strong> has taxi cab vouchers that can be given to students for just such urgent situations. The charge for the cab will then be put on your student account. Of course, you can always call a cab yourself or take the bus. 29
