In an emergency: What to do?
Ensuring personal safety is the number-one priority on all Technical University of Munich (TUM) campuses – especially in the event of an emergency or safety incident. We do all we can to avoid or mitigate any negative impacts.
Emergency numbers
- Fire and ambulance services: 112
- Poison control hotline: +49 89 19240
- Police: 110
When you call one of these numbers, keep your answers brief and concise. Prepare to answer any questions the emergency staff may ask and always wait for the emergency coordination center to end the call.
Do not use the telephone afterwards for other calls in case the emergency staff wants to call you back.
Always administer first aid to the best of your abilities in an emergency.

The TUM alerting system serves as an emergency alert, for example in the event of threats and damage. In case of crises, accidents or catastrophes, the first priority is to ensure the protection and safety of persons at all TUM locations. In such cases, the TUM alert system informs staff, students, and guests and recommends proper actions.
