EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

EMERGENCY INFORMATION LINE: 1-800-550-3922

Studies show that during an incident, information is as critically important to people as food or water. Not only can accurate information mean the difference between life and death, it can provide reassurance that response and recovery are truly underway.

In short, those who become and remain informed, make a plan, and practice that plan, are better prepared and more resilient in the face of an emergency.

It is the responsibility of every faculty and staff member to read, understand and familiarize themselves with the Emergency Management Plan and evacuation routes . You can find AP 3505 here.

In an emergency

If an emergency occurs on the Grossmont or Cuyamaca college campuses, numerous methods will be used to communicate information. Check out the Emergency Notifications page for all the latest. If you haven't yet already done so, make sure your phone numbers are up to day in Workday to receive emergency messaging via cell phone, landline phone, and e-mail.

Call the campus Emergency Information Line 1-800-550-3922 for general information and instructions for faculty, staff and students regarding campus operations, business or classes when GCCCD's Emergency Operations and Preparedness teams have been activated.
