Emergency Preparedness
Forms of Communications
Fullerton College has many ways to communicate to the campus community and community at-large during an emergency. The Campus Safety Department works closely with the Office of Campus Communications to distribute factual and timely information. Employees and students are encouraged to review their contact information in myGateway to guarantee they receive emergency messages.
Intercom system
The Cisco phones throughout campus may be used as a centralized intercom system. Every classroom and office has a phone speaker that could be activated in the event of an emergency.
Mass email/text/voicemail notification: Fullerton College utilizes Rave Alert, which is a leading mass notification system to quickly and reliably send messages.
Emergency notifications and timely warnings
The Clery Act requires institutions to alert their campuses by issuing a Timely Warning if a Clery-specific crime poses a serious or ongoing threat to the campus community. Clery crimes include may homicide, aggravated assault, sexual assault and weapons law violations, among other crimes. The act also requires institutions to issue emergency notifications when an emergency, threatening the health and safety of the campus community, occurs on campus. Emergencies can range from a chemical spill in the science lab to an unexpected tornado to an active shooter.
Official communications
Official communication from Fullerton College will be shared through the homepage and email communications.
