Preparing you for emergency situations

At Royal Roads, we want to ensure our people are prepared in the case of emergency and security issues.

Safety is everyone's responsibility. We encourage you to regularly review RRU's emergency and security information on this website.

Take time to familiarize yourself with these resources, so you know what to do and where to go should an emergency situation arise when you’re on campus.

Serious or life-threatening injuries

For serious or life-threatening injuries or emergencies call 9-1-1. Then call Campus Security from any blue emergency phone or at: 

Overdose or over-intoxication 

If you or someone near you begins showing any signs of overdose or over-intoxication, call 9-1-1.  

Always call 9-1-1 first. If you’re on an RRU campus, you can then contact Campus Security at 250-391-2525 (Colwood) or 250.217.8465 (Langford) or by using one of the blue emergency phones found on campus grounds.
