Emergency Management
Emergency management provides the structure and planning that help communities reduce risks and respond effectively when disasters occur. At SBCCD, the Safety & Risk Management department works closely with our colleges to create a safe learning and working environment through comprehensive planning, training, and preparedness initiatives. Our goal is to build and sustain the district’s capability to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters, acts of violence or terrorism, and other emergencies. We are committed to protecting the safety of our employees, students, and visitors through coordinated, district-wide emergency management efforts.
Emergency Operations
Emergency operations refers to the organized actions and activities carried out during a hazard or incident to protect life and property, manage response efforts, and coordinate resources. When an incident occurs, emergency operations involve activating plans, mobilizing personnel and resources, coordinating among agencies or departments, and initiating response and recovery efforts.
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.
