Emergency Planning
Saint Michael’s College has an emergency response plan in place to guide staff in dealing with various emergencies that might affect the campus. The College has a fully operational fire department and rescue squad on campus and is in a unique position to manage many of its own emergencies utilizing its own resources.
Emergency communication is a pivotal element of a functional response plan. Among the communications media to be utilized during an emergency is a text messaging system. All members of the campus community are urged to register with the system so that updates and information can be delivered to their mobile devices during critical emergencies. The service provided at no cost and registration is simple through the Rave website.
Additionally, the College has a Hostile Intruder Community Guideline in place. This guideline and other pertinent emergency information can be found on the Public Safety website.
