Emergency Management
Emergency Management is the essential managerial function responsible for establishing the framework in which communities actively minimize their vulnerability to hazards and effectively cope with the challenges posed by disasters. Safety & Risk Management collaborates closely with the colleges to cultivate a secure work environment by developing comprehensive emergency preparation plans for diverse situations. SBCCD is dedicated to ensuring the safety of its employees, students, and visitors in the event of an emergency. Emergency Management safeguards communities by meticulously coordinating and integrating all essential activities. These efforts are aimed at establishing, sustaining, and enhancing the capability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from potential or actual natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or other man-made disasters.
Emergency Operations
Emergency Operations entails a comprehensive process that encompasses planning, training, exercising, and evaluating with the overarching goal of safeguarding both people and property during emergencies and disasters.
The San Bernardino Community College District (SBCCD) Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) identifies SBCCD's emergency planning, organization, and response policies and procedures. It assists SBCCD in being prepared to respond to and recover from any level of emergency it may face.
As a supplement to the SBCCD EOP, each SBCCD college is responsible for maintaining a Campus Response Plan (CRP) to guide college-specific mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery actions.
Emergency Flipcharts are available at all SBCCD locations, and are located in all buildings and rooms on campus. Flipcharts give instructions on what to do during particular emergencies. You may also view the information at the link provided below.

Building Captain Program
The Building Captain Program is designed to provide for a safe evacuation of building occupants in the event of an emergency. The goal of the Building Captain Program is to ensure that every building on campus has trained employees available to provide safety and emergency preparedness information, as well as response support to the employees and students in that location.
Building Captain team members are specific employees who serve as the lead for all emergency program activities within their buildings. They manage evacuations, check assigned areas, and participate in emergency preparedness activities as necessary. They serve as the first point of contact for safety information and incident reporting for all building occupants and provide safety orientation to employees on building-specific emergency procedures.
First Aid & AED
SBCCD has first aid kits and Automated External Defibrillators (AED) for use across both our campuses for the health & safety of our employees, students, and visitors. The link below shows the locations of these items at each of our campuses.
