The college partners with Regroup as their Emergency Alert Notification System to notify the college community of active or potential incidents or emergencies. Upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on or off campus, an emergency alert will be issued by the appropriate person or office. Other alert methods may also be used including but not limited to internet notifications at the Gila Community College home page, local radio station announcements, and campus phone messages.
The decision on the appropriate course of action and the type of instructions given to the campus community will be determined by campus security or other college officials based upon the information available at the time. College employees will follow the emergency notification procedures outlined in the Emergency Response Plan which is available in every classroom and office on each campus.
Regroup will also be used to notify the college community of campus closures or late starts/early releases. Students and employees will be notified of an alert through their student email account and cell phone number on record in their student account.
