Emergency Response
Upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on the campus, Carroll College staff will alert students and employees immediately. Emergency or security alerts will be posted by email, on the college’s Student Life webpage on the college’s Emergency Response webpage, and/or through the use of the college’s emergency messaging system Regroup to emergency contact phone numbers.
The institution will, without delay, and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless the notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist victims or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency. Immediate contact will be made with college employees closest to the incident area to obtain information from eyewitnesses. Local law enforcement will be notified. College officials will cooperate with local law enforcement to determine the severity of the emergency and provide appropriate updates to the college community.
The college will conduct an annual test of the emergency response and evacuation procedures. The annual tests will include publicizing the college’s procedures in conjunction with one annual test per calendar year.
