Emergency Operations Plan


Emergency Response Quick-Reference Guide

This updated version of the Emergency Response Quick Reference Guide provides a concise overview of a variety of potential emergency scenarios and the steps you can take to make rapid and informed decisions. It includes easy-to-follow recommendations for immediate response based on the wisdom and experience of first responders throughout the country. The information in this guide is a derivative product of the Emergency Operations Plan (above) and is not intended to supplant procedures or requirements contained within the basic plan.


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.


Student Guide to Campus Emergencies​

Our Student Guide to Campus Emergencies contains recommended step-by-step procedures for dealing with emergencies on campus. Safety is a top priority at College of the Canyons. We have well-trained and effective Campus Safety and Incident Command teams, and we enjoy close proximity and excellent working relationships with local first responders. Our faculty and staff are trained to respond in a wide variety of emergency situations. That training will be exponentially more effective if you – our students – know what is expected of you when an emergency arises. We encourage you to review the information in this booklet – and to become actively engaged, be aware of your surroundings, and ask questions so you know how the college will respond and what your role is.
