LCC conducting fire drills in September and October
Throughout the next two months, the college will hold fire evacuation drills for all students, employees and guests at every campus and location.
This year, we’ll be holding the drills building-by-building, to allow for a focused
review of evacuation procedures in each place. Everyone who is in a particular building at the time of the drill is required to participate, even if you are in the middle of class or already participated in
another building. The drills are an important aspect of emergency preparedness and
are a requirement under the Jeanne Clery Act.
The exact time of the drills will not be announced in advance, but you can expect
them to begin in these general timeframes:

The drills will begin with a fire alarm. When you hear the alarm, please proceed out
of your building and wait outside, 50-100 feet from the doors. Do not leave campus,
and do not clog the building entry and exits.
As this is a fire evacuation drill, elevators will not work. If anyone in your class
or area requires assistance in evacuating, please help them as you are able. Members
of LCC’s Building Emergency Response Team, or BERT, will be sweeping the buildings
and can also help.
A friendly reminder: The drill cannot end until people are out of the buildings. The
quicker everyone exits, the quicker the drill will be done.
Once the drill is complete, you will hear an “all clear” message on the building PA
system.
Evacuation is one of the five key emergency responses LCC asks all students to know how to handle. This is a good opportunity for us to
practice our response as a college community.
