El Camino College is committed to maintaining a safe and prepared campus environment. Stay informed about the upcoming evacuation drill on campus. 

Earthquake Evacuation Drill

Earthquakes are a normal occurrence in Southern California, but that doesn’t mean we should take them lightly or assume we’re prepared.

This evacuation drill will occur for the Library Building only. The Library will be evacuated in its entirety so please plan accordingly.

During this drill, everyone in the Library building will be directed to:

  • DROP to the ground
  • Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table
  • HOLD ON until the “shaking” stops
  • Evacuate buildings and proceed to assigned evacuation assembly areas (View Evacuation Areas) until the “all clear” is given to return into the building.
  • The drill will conclude at approximately 5:15 p.m.
