Utility Failure
Utility failures can occur at any time. The most common utility failures experienced at the college are electrical power outages that are usually brief and generally do not disrupt activities for more than a few moments at any given time. In the event of a major or potential danger to members of the college community, all or part of the college will be closed. Employees are not to leave the campus until authorized to do so by an authorized administrator or Sheriff’s personnel. If you are in an unlit area, proceed cautiously to an area that has emergency lights or evacuate the building. Provide assistance to students, visitors and staff in your immediate area.
What To Do?
Most campus buildings are equipped with an emergency lighting system designed to provide enough illumination in corridors and stairs for safe exiting. In the event of electrical failure, call Facilities Administration at (323) 953-4000 ext. 2410 or 2441. A representative will notify the Sheriff’s Department when assistance in evacuating an area is needed.
