In the event of an earthquake:
Stay in the building until the tremor stops.

Take cover under furniture or in doorways.

Keep away from windows, overhead fixtures or objects that may fall on you.

Await building clearance notice or instructions to evacuate from the SCC Director of Operations, Vice President of Administration, Evening Duty Administrator or College Police/Custodial personnel.

In the event of a major earthquake with major structural damage apparent on the campus or in the local area:

Follow the above procedures until the quake has stopped.

Decisions to evacuate your building and/or the campus will be made by the senior administrator on campus or by College Police personnel after duty hours or on weekends/holidays.

If time and circumstances permit, the SCC Emergency Operations Center will be activated and will direct rescue, recovery and evacuation actions for the campus as necessary.

NOTE: If a major regional earthquake occurs and campus evacuation is directed, students and faculty should remain home or in shelters until directed to return to campus via the news media, the SCC Emergency Operations Center or through responsible campus personnel.
