Southern Crescent Technical College uses the Regroup (Tiger Alert) electronic notification system. Upon registering for classes, students’ contact information, including their college e-mail address and phone numbers, are added to the system. Students then receive college-wide notifications via e-mail, telephone calls, and text messages. Notifications may be sent for a variety of reasons that include emergency situations, inclement weather updates, college closings/delays, or other student-related information notices or updates.
Continuous ringing of the fire alarm indicates immediate evacuation of the building to the designated evacuation points. The evacuation routes and assembly areas are posted throughout the campuses and centers. Emergency evacuation drills will be held throughout the year to ensure that all persons understand and obey emergency procedures. During these drills students are to act as though the emergency were real and to behave in an orderly fashion.
An announcement using Tiger Alert will direct immediate evacuation of the building to a designated safe area.
Note: An Emergency Evacuation Plan is posted throughout campuses and centers marking locations of evacuation routes and safe areas.
A senior staff member on the scene will announce “ALL CLEAR.”
Centers: An “ALL CLEAR” message will be issued using a voice amplified bullhorn.
These will be followed up by a Tiger Alert message of “ALL CLEAR.”
Faculty, staff, and students are to follow the procedures outlined below:
