If you see an exposed or downed power line, call 911 or the Department of Public Safety immediately. Stay away from the lines.

Avoid contact with metal or water which may be in contact with an electrical source such as a downed power line, electronic device, electrical outlet or switchboard.

If you become aware of a utility failure (electrical, natural gas, sewage, water, elevator or fire alarm), notify the Facilities Services at x5472 during normal business hours.

    • For telephone failures, notify Telephone Services at x5700 during normal business hours.

    • For computer network failures, notify Library Information Services at x2200 during normal business hours.
    • For any utility failure that occurs after hours, notify the Public Safety Department at x5911.

If the College becomes aware of a utility failure, it will notifiy the College community by:

1. Phone System. During a power failure the phone system will be on a two (2) hour battery back up allowing time to make a campus-wide notification.

2. Computer System. We now have a generator backup for the computer system in Voter. In the event of a power failure the computer system will remain in service and would be immediately accessable to you once your power is restored.

3. Other Systems. When other systems are not functioning, Facilities Services will notify the campus community by e-mail or voice mail. You may also contact the facilities phone tree hot line at 5472 for updated information.
