Montgomery
College Emergency Preparedness
In the event of
emergency situations involving Montgomery College directly
-- or of an emergency
at the local, regional or national level which could impact
the college community – Montgomery College’s safety and
security personnel and other College officials utilize in-house
emergency response plans and coordinate their response activities
with local, county, state and federal authorities, as appropriate.
The College works directly in conjunction with Montgomery County’s
Emergency Operations Center, in the event of any local activation
of the center. |
| Detailed
emergency response plans are in place for each of Montgomery
College’s three primary campuses at Germantown, Rockville
and Takoma Park/Silver Spring, as well as for off-site facilities,
including its Workforce Development and Continuing Education
centers at Gaithersburg and Wheaton.
The College
has published a Quick Reference
Guide, with basic information
on these emergency procedures. It includes an explanation
of the communication alert codes utilized by the college,
key phone numbers, tips on what to do in the event of various
types of emergencies, and specific evacuation plans for individual
college facilities. Members of the college community are
urged to familiarize themselves with this information and
to keep a copy of the guide handy. |
