Mass Notification System

Coastal Alabama Community College uses a mass notification system to notify employees and students of emergency situations. The College also uses this system if any change in schedules or any campus closures occur. Students and employees already have user accounts set up based on their information on file.

Testing Emergency Procedures and Notifications

Coastal Alabama Community College frequently tests emergency procedures and notifications. During these tests, the College sends a notice to students, faculty and staff via the mass notifications system. In addition, the College performs routine drills and evacuations annually. The College may choose to coordinate these tests, announced or unannounced.

The Coastal Alabama Police Department also performs active shooter drills for faculty, staff and students. These exercises are performed during professional development sessions for employees and during training for specific student groups, such as Resident Assistants. All drills will be documented through the College Police Department.
