Emergency Announcement System (EAS)
The San Mateo County Community College District has installed an Emergency Announcement System (EAS) on each of the three campuses, Cañada College, College of San Mateo, and Skyline College, that allows emergency messages and alerts to be sent campus wide in an efficient and timely manner. The command center for the device is located in Public Safety Office on each campus and will be activated under the direction of the College Presidents, Chief of Public Safety, Campus Captains, or other designated personnel. The device will be utilized for emergencies related to severe weather conditions, a dangerous person on campus, an emergency situation, or other special incidents that may arise and appear to pose a potential threat to College students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Listed below are the recorded messages that will be used in accordance with each message.
