Fire safety is one of the most prevalent concerns in the College. The Fire Safety Plan is integrated within the Emergency Management Framework. A stand-alone version of the Fire Safety Plan can be reviewed here.
Information related to these procedures is routinely distributed to staff and students through orientation programs, awareness materials and more comprehensive training efforts.
As in any community, it is important to understand that emergency preparedness starts with each and every individual. It is essential that every member of the College community take a few moments to think about your individual plans and how you might respond in any emergency. Please contribute to the overall safety of our community by being conscientious about your own individual plans.
