West Los Angeles College Emergency Congregation Areas |
| Because of impending construction and the creation of necessary staging/loading areas, Lot 8, the Graduation Lawn, and the bus stop will no longer be available as Emergency Congregation Areas effective June 1, 2007. Therefore the following changes have been made. |
Area supervisors and assistants are assigned to review each building, provide a communication channel, and take corrective action. If you are unable to communicate with these individuals, a “ Communication Center ” will be established in the President’s Office or, in the event of building damage, on the President’s Lawn just West of the Administration Building . LA County Sheriffs have a traffic exit plan to use in the case of a campus emergency—similar to that used after graduation ceremonies—to direct all cars off campus within 40 minutes. In the event that the Freshman Drive/Overland exit is blocked, the college will use the North exit by the football field. Evacuees are to proceed north through the access road at the end of Freshman Drive that intersects with Sophomore Drive and empties out onto Jefferson Blvd near Duquesne Ave. We are currently negotiating this exit route with property owners and neighbors in this area. |
