Emergency Services During Server Failure/Power Outages

Server failures and power outages can affect campuswide phone, email, and other communication services. Service could be out of operation from a few minutes to several hours. If you need emergency assistance on the El Camino College campus during such a time, please dial 911 or ECC police from a cellphone. Please note: Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile will directly connect 911 calls (made on campus) to campus police. Sprint and MetroPCS usually connect to California Highway Patrol (CHP) or the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department if you dial 911 from campus and they will transfer the call to campus police. The El Camino College Police Department phones are on a separate system, not connected to the general ECC server, and can be accessed even if El Camino College campus phones do not work. It advised to prepare for emergencies by programing 911 and the El Camino College Police Department phone number (310-660-3100) into your cellphone. Many cellphones have a built-in 911 feature, where emergency agencies can be contacted with one touch. Please direct any further questions to the El Camino College Police Department at 310-660-3100.
