Emergency Notifications

College of the Canyons Incident Command Team is trained in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS).  With our emergency training we will determine the extent of the emergency and make decisions on who should be notified, the content of the notification and initiate the the notification system.

Depending on the particular circumstances especially in all situations that could pose an immediate threat to the community and individuals, the college may also post a notice on the campus marquee's and electronic bulletin boards providing the college community with more immediate notification. In addition our Public Information Office works closely with the local media outlets to disseminate information and alert the community to any potential threats. Incident Command Team members may be dispersed to assist in the notifications.

Emergency Cell/Text Message Alert

All those who entered their personal cell phone number via the Web Registration system (Quick Link on Main Campus Homepage listed below) will receive a brief text message alert regarding an on campus emergency as soon as the information is confirmed.

Exits and Emergency Evacuation Sites

In each classroom or lab, identify the exit(s). Take note of alternate exits such as windows. Locate the Emergency Evacuation  site designated for your building.  Evacuation maps should be located near the exits of your building.  After reaching your evacuation site your instructor will conduct a roll call and report any discrepancies to incident command staff. Assist those in need or disabled to safely exit the facility. Reference evacuation map, avoid elevators and be aware of alternate exit routes.
