Disaster Service Workers
All employees at Riverside Community College District and all of its locations are
Disaster Service Workers. Disaster Service Workers are public employees who can be
called upon to assist in the event of an emergency. Upon hire, employees sign an Oath of Allegiance for their service and follow the District's Board Policy 5807-Disaster Service Worker.
Emergency Operations
Emergency Operations refers to the process of planning, training, exercising, and
evaluating to protect people and property in emergencies and disasters.
The District has an Emergency Operations Plan (draft) in place to assign responsibility to individuals to carry out specific tasks in the
event of an emergency.
In order to assist employees, students, and visitors in the event of an emergency,
the District also has an Emergency Reference Guide that offers guidance for specific types of emergencies.
All of our sites also have Emergency Procedures posters on site in multiple locations to assist in the event of an emergency.
Building & Floor Captains
Each of our campuses has a Building & Floor Captain Program. Building and Floor Captains
are responsible for the safety of individuals in their assigned areas. Each Building
and Floor Captain will manage evacuations, check assigned areas, and coordinate emergency
operations as necessary.
RCCD is dedicated to providing a safe environment for all students, faculty, staff,
and visitors. The Building and Floors Captain Program has been established to continue
that commitment during an emergency.
Captains partner with personnel from Risk Management, Police, and RCCD Management
to assist in safe evacuation, shelter in place or lock down procedures in times of
crisis. Review the Building & Floor Captain Handbook for more information on the program.
