EVACUATIONS

 

Should it become necessary to evacuate a building the decision to evacuate generally will be made by consultation of Public Safety, Fire, and Departments in the building. Occasionally, due to time constraints, Public Safety may make the decision without consultation.

 

If your building is evacuated, be sure to follow the directions of emergency personnel on the scene and move to the designated area outside the building and wait for further instructions.

 

The College will prosecute to the fullest extent possible under law any persons placing any threat to students, faculty, staff, and campus facilities.
