This summer&#8217;s emergency preparedness activities are June 15-20.<\/p>\n<p>Go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/emergency-information\/emergency-preparedness-week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emergency Preparedness Week<\/a> webpage for details about the week and instructions on downloading a free <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/emergency-information\/acc-mobile-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emergency Mobile App<\/a>. Following are a few specifics to note:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\">ACC will test its emergency alert system on <strong>Wednesday, June 17<\/strong>, at 10 a.m. This communications system sends automated emergency information via voice\/text messages, emergency message boards, and email. You can verify your emergency contact information in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/onlineservices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Services<\/a>. (Click &#8220;ACC Emergency Alert&#8221; on the menu page.) A test message also will be posted on the ACC homepage, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/emergency-notifications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emergency<\/a> webpage, and on social media.<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\">\u00a0The college will conduct building evacuation drills at six campuses throughout the week, including two on Saturday. To prepare, you should find the nearest building exit plus an alternate. If you can\u2019t use stairs, then locate the nearest <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/emergency-information\/area-of-rescue-assistance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Area of Rescue Assistance<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\">\u00a0During an evacuation, gather at your campus rally point until the \u201call clear\u201d is called. Look for outdoor rally point signs as you arrive or leave campus so you know where the locations are.<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\">\u00a0Complete a survey about the evacuation drills. Evaluating procedures helps the college improve processes and demonstrate its compliance with federal safety regulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>View ACC\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/emergency-notifications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emergency<\/a> webpage for safety videos and detailed information on emergency procedures, ACC Emergency Alerts, and emergency notifications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin Community College designates the third week of each semester as Emergency Preparedness Week to test emergency systems and inform the campus community what they should do if an emergency or disaster occurs on campus. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/2015\/06\/12\/emergency-preparedness-week-begins-june-15\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3932,"featured_media":34758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[322],"class_list":["post-34757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-current-students","tag-emergency-preparedness"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3932"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
