Lockdown Procedures

The priority and obligation of the district-wide Emergency Management Program (within the limits of its resources) is the safety and health of students, employees, and guests. After an injury has been reported to the Alamo Colleges Police Department, Coordinator of Campus Risk Management, and the District Enterprise Risk Management Team, SAC's Risk Management may conduct an incident investigation to determine the root cause of any injury or exposure event and provide corrective actions to avoid similar future incidents.

The district-wide Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) program provides comprehensive guidelines for all Alamo Colleges, with the primary objective to promote safety and effective loss prevention practices. Contact Risk Management if your area needs to be assessed for health and or safety hazards.

The Alamo Colleges District’s Emergency Notification System alerts students and employees to severe weather and other emergencies using phone calls, emails, and/or text messages. It’s important to keep your contact information updated so we can deliver the most accurate and up-to-the-minute news to you during an emergency. To learn how to update your contact information in ACES, click on the link below to access the “Emergency Help Guide”:

Emergency Notification System

Our Emergency Notification System enables us to schedule, send, and track personalized voice messages to up to six phone numbers per person and immediately send messages four different ways:
• Voice messages to home phones, work phones, cell phones, and email addresses 
• Text messages to cell phones, PDA’s and other text-based devices*
• Text messages to email accounts 
• Messages to TTY/TDD receiving devices for the hearing impaired 

Contact information will only be used for Alamo Colleges District notifications and will not be made available to any other service.

*Text messaging will be sent to the text enabled cell phone number provided in your personal information in ACES. By entering your cell phone number, you opt in to receive text messaging from the emergency notification system.
