Safety Reminders
Welcome back to a new academic year! Please review these safety reminders to help ensure a safe and productive campus community.

• If you see something, say something. By working together, we all contribute to the safety of our college campus.
• In an emergency, contact Campus Police by calling 911 from a landline phone; 310-660-3100 from a cell phone; or use a campus "Code Blue" emergency phone.
• Have keys in hand before walking to your car.
• Always be aware of your surroundings – remember the use of listening devices and cell phones may significantly distract you.
• Don't walk alone; use the buddy system.
• Use cautious judgment: meet new people, including classmates or colleagues, in public places; do not get into a car or go to out-of-the-way places with someone you do not know.
• Learn the location of "Code Blue" POLICE phones located throughout campus. These phones are directly linked to the college Police Department and are considered 911 priority lines. Students and staff are encouraged to utilize these phones for any emergency.
• Use ECC Courtesy Shuttle operated by ECC Police from 5:30-10:30 p.m.; on-call 24 hours. Use one of the POLICE phones located throughout campus or call campus police 310-660-3100 for this service.
• Evening students and faculty are encouraged to park in the same general area as other faculty or students with night classes in their building; this provides the opportunity for a group of students and faculty to walk together to their cars after dark.
• Immediately report any suspicious activity to campus police.
• Be alert! Be prepared!

Get Ready to ShakeOut!
ECC will join the annual Great California ShakeOut earthquake drill on Oct. 17. At 10:17 a.m., all El Camino College students, faculty and staff will "Drop, Cover, and Hold On," and then begin an orderly evacuation of buildings. Thank you for your participation in this important exercise that will help us prepare for earthquakes. Floor captains will be available during the drill for assistance.
