Emergency Preparedness

The Contra Costa Community College District Police Department is responsible for emergency planning and the coordination of emergency operations throughout the district. The Police Department works closely with local, operational area, regional, state, and federal agencies to provide for your safety during an emergency or disaster.

The District Emergency Operations Guide is currently under development and will soon be available through this page. The Guide will provide information and event-specific guidelines for response to many emergencies -- including fires, earthquakes, and chemical releases.
