Updates

Threats to personal safety can happen anywhere. HCC is taking measures to ensure we have the capacity to respond to severe weather, utility failures, hazardous material spills, acts of violence, and other incidents that could pose a danger to the campus community. We can't do this by developing a plan that gathers dust on a shelf. Safety and emergency response preparations need to be part of an ongoing process. This "Update" page and associated documents and sub-pages will serve as a report to the campus on our most recent efforts.
