The general “rule of thumb” is to ask the question, “Can it wait until normal working hours and not jeopardize safety or loss of property?” If you can answer this affirmatively, it is not an emergency. Some examples of situations that warrant after-hour response are given below:

  • Electrical – the only light in the room is out, power to one or more rooms is out (not just one receptacle)
  • Plumbing – critical plumbing fixture is stopped up (if not critical put “do not use” sign on the fixture), fixture overflowing (attempt to turn water off), a water leak that cannot be contained with a bucket, radiator heat broken in Story, Sloan, West, Virginia, Carolina, Smith, HBB, McEwen kitchen, and Whitley
  • HVAC – lack of critical cooling or heating, critical kitchen cooling equipment or icemakers
  • Environmental Services – biohazard clean-up, fire extinguisher discharge, glass clean-up
  • Key Shop – office building will not lock, combination breach on room, key stuck in lock
  • Carpenter Shop – outside windows broken in student rooms, major roof leaks, safety critical doors that will not close, panic bar alarm can’t be reset
