Campus Safety & Blue Light Phones

Q: Is MGuide an emergency service?

No. MGuide is an independent campus map. In an emergency, call 911 or use official University of Michigan DPSS channels.

Q: What does the Safety route show?

The Safety route turns on the safety map layer, shows blue-light phone locations, surfaces active notices when available, and links to official emergency and SafeWalk phone numbers.
