Emergency/Crisis Procedures
Brookhaven College has crisis procedures in place to
help ensure the safety of students during an emergency.
An emergency/crisis procedure chart is posted in each
campus classroom. Evacuation signs in each building
indicate evacuation routes and assembly points, and
building coordinators are designated in all facilities
to assist students and employees in an emergency. A
brochure for students with additional information
about the Brookhaven College evacuation plan is
available in Student Life, Room S201. Information
about emergencies also may be available by calling the
Student Inclement Weather and Emergency Information
Hotline at 972-860-4200.
INCLEMENT WEATHER, HEALTH AND/OR EMERGENCY CLOSINGS
In the rare and unlikely occurrence that may cause the immediate closing of the college, such as ice, tornado
warnings, a hostile intruder or health precaution, relevant information will be posted to the college’s Web
site, broadcast to the major media and disseminated through social media, Twitter, MySpace and Facebook.
Brookhaven College’s home Web page will display a notification of any closings, delays or advisories. If there
is no notice of changes or delays, then classes are in session as usual. You also may refer to announcements on
major television and radio stations in the event that the Brookhaven College Internet site is not operational.
It is each student’s and employee’s responsibility to be informed when weather, health or emergency closings
may be likely by checking the major broadcast media, the college’s main number, 972-860-4700 or the Web
site:
www.BrookhavenCollege.edu. Unexpected closings will be handled by closings of the main entry gates to
the college, but every effort will be made to notify students and employees in advance, whenever possible.
