This FLC group seeks to provide more proactive support to students who have been identified as potentially at risk. They review student issues that warrant an action plan but are not disciplinary in nature. View the Action Steps for Students of Concern and/or submit the Behavioral Intervention Referral Form.

Outdoor emergency telephones are strategically located throughout our campuses, marked and easily identified by a blue light. When accessed, these emergency telephones will connect you directly to Los Rios Police Dispatch. Use these phones to call police in an emergency or if you need an officer dispatched to your location. The locations of blue emergency phones are noted on campus maps.

What is an evacuation?

Emergency evacuation is the immediate and rapid movement of people away from the threat or actual occurrence of a hazard. Examples: bomb threat, fire, flood, civil disturbances, toxic material releases, radiological and biological accidents, workplace violence. In some situations it may be better to shelter in place as directed by Emergency Personnel or College Officials.

What is this process designed to do?

This process is designed to establish a basic self-help protocol for emergency evacuations within each campus building.

How will I be notified of an evacuation?

The notification to evacuate may come from: Los Rios Alert System: This system will notify you by various means such as email, cell phone, and/or text message Building Alarm System: Fire alarms Los Rios Police, Other Emergency Responders, or College/District Supervisor or Manager

Remember to:

• Leave the building by the nearest safe exit and alert others to do the same.
• Stay calm and exit in an orderly fashion. Do not use elevators.
• Be prepared to assist with the evacuation of persons with disabilities.
• Once outside of the building, report to the safest designated assembly area (see attached map for locations).
• Whenever possible, keep streets, fire lanes, hydrants, and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and personnel.
• Do not return to an evacuated building unless told to do so by an authorized official (police, fire, or College/District Supervisor or Manager).

The Los Rios Police Department employs California P.O.S.T (Peace Officers Standards and Training) certified sworn police officers who are responsible for protecting life and property at all locations within the Los Rios Community College District. The college and district have excellent working relationships with emergency and law enforcement agencies serving our communities. 

National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Training is an integrated emergency management system that is a comprehensive national approach to incident management during an emergency. By having employees understand this system, then we can be better prepared to establish and sustain the level of capability necessary to execute a wide range of incident management operations during an emergency.
