Event Services

Through our Operations Team, UW-sponsored events can access professional first aid and non-transport basic life support (BLS) standby services.

Inquire

We tailor our non-transport services based on risk level and size. To determine the right coverage level for you, we will also consider weather predictions, location, if alcoholic beverages are present, risk of activities, and age of attendees.
To inquire about an event, please email EMSoperations@uw.edu. Be sure to include your sponsoring UW department, the event date and time, and the estimated number of attendees.

Note: Requests must be made 3 weeks in advance. For events outside of the academic year, place requests 4 weeks in advance.Urgent or last-minute requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

 

Unit response radius: UW Seattle main campus.

Fees

All events help fund the operations of our agency, including free CPR certifications, overdose recognition classes, 9-1-1 response, and other community engagement initiatives.

Event costs vary based on risk level and event size. For updated rates, please contact EMSoperations@uw.edu.

Liability and Compliance

UWEMS follows university policies and state EMS regulations. We maintain insurance and liability coverage for our BLS response. Event organizers are expected to coordinate with SFD, UWPD, campus safety, or local PD as needed for high-risk events.
