    When confidently safe, call 9-1-1

  • Lock the door if possible and hide; use heavy objects to barricade door. Stay low.
    Gather near doorway but not in line of sight upon opening.
  • Turn off cell ringers, but have one person quietly call 9-1-1 and remain on the line with the dispatcher
• Fight: How will you fight together?
  • Work together to surprise, confuse and fight the intruder.

Our utility power company Southern California Edison (SCE) has established a Public Safety Power Shutdown program (PSPS) under which they could—as a last resort—preemptively turn off power to selected circuits in order to prevent a wildfire. However, the college has a generator which would automatically continue to serve the entire campus.* College officials have plans in place to communicate and address a potential disruption in the unlikely case an outage is foreseen to last from a few hours to a couple days. If power does go down:

• Never use candles
  Use flashlights or headlamps instead
• Unplug computer
  to prevent surge when power restored
• Minimize movement in the dark
  Library, DC and Gym have supplemental backup power in case it's safe to find your way there

* - Except isolated areas on lower campus served by different utility circuits.
