Emergency & Security Information

Dial "4111" in an emergency if using an ICERM/Brown University phone. This number should be used in any emergency for the quickest response from police, fire department, or an ambulance. For assistance with urgent, but non-emergency, problems call Brown's Police & Security at "3-3322".; There are two stairway exits from the ICERM offices on the both the 10th and 11th floors located to either side of the elevators. In the case of an emergency, please use either of these stairways. DO NOT use the elevator in the event of a fire.

In the case of an evacuation, please exit the building only if the fire alarm horns and strobes are activated on the floor you are at or you are instructed to do so through commands given over the fire communication system.

Do not prop the stairwell doors open. Please honor any requests from the building's lobby security to sign-in or show ID.
Security Reminder: When you are not in your office, please keep your office door locked for safe keeping of your personal items and ICERM equipment. No one is immune to security problems and we appreciate your assistance. If you see someone in the ICERM office space, lounge, etc, whom you believe is not associated with ICERM please inform the staff in the main office immediately so we can investigate it.; When outside of ICERM, please be aware of your surroundings and the people around you at all times. Trusting your instincts will help minimize your risk of becoming the victim of a crime.
Building Maintenance Issues: If you see a problem with facilities maintenance, or if general supplies need to be replinsihed, please contact an ICERM staff member.
Getting Around Brown's Campus: The Brown University campus is remarkably walkable. The campus shuttle is available to long-term visitors with a Brown ID card.
