Emergency Preparedness

Emergency preparedness and response is a shared responsibility.  Colorado College provides information regarding emergency preparedness and response to the campus via the College’s web site and printed materials.  Additionally, the College provides emergency information to employees upon hire and facilitates emergency training for all members of the campus community.  Faculty, staff, students, and guests at Colorado College should commit to personal preparedness and, because general preparedness guidelines may not apply in every emergency, should integrate their own preparedness activities with the circumstances of an emergency.  Although voluntary, the College encourages faculty, staff, students, and guests with disabilities to notify the College of any need for assistance in planning for emergencies.

Please keep the following guidelines in mind during emergency situations:

• Be positive and realistic.
• Recognize that you may be on your own for part of the time during an emergency.
• Realize that your actions can, and will, make a difference.
• Try to do the most good for the most people during any emergency.
