tabletop exercises. Post drill assessment is conducted by or in coordination with the Campus Police and Public Safety Department and the Evacuation Team, Administration and other applicable participants or departments Emergency Response Procedures (Gardner, Leominster and Devens) have been published and posted in all buildings, offices and classrooms. Emergency Response Guides are available at all times and provide emergency contact information and procedures regarding criminal acts, medical emergencies, fire alarms/fire, and natural disaster/inclement weather response. Additional information is provided to faculty and staff through professional development and/or other training venues. These guides are updated as needed and reviewed annually before the start of the academic year, to ensure current emergency contact information is provided. The last review was in summer 2012.

Emergency Response Procedures (Burbank Campus): Emergency codes and information regarding emergency exit routes are posted throughout the building.

These procedures are developed and maintained by the Health Alliance Hospital (Burbank) and Community Health Connections. Training for students and staff in emergency response and evacuation is conducted through the Health Alliance (Burbank) facilities department at the beginning of each semester.

The MWCC program(s) share a building with Community Health Connections. As such, emergency response follows both hospital protocols and Community Health Connections protocols. As part of the regular hospital protocol, regular drills and/or exercises are conducted at the hospital and may or may not include MWCC students and staff.

GARDNER CAMPUS: In the event of a life-threatening emergency at the Gardner campus, immediate assistance can be summoned by dialing 111 from any college telephone or (978) 6309111 from a cell phone or outside line. A receptionist is on duty, who coordinates emergency response efforts via a two-way radio system and answers the emergency telephone during the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, when the facility is open for regular business. The receptionist will dispatch campus police, facilities management personnel, or the College nurse as needed. After 5:00 p.m. or on weekends, emergency calls are answered directly, at extension 111, by a campus police officer on a two-way portable radio system. All public emergency telephones are accessible to the disabled. Emergency phones are located in the following locations on the Gardner campus and will be answered by Campus Police on a two-way radio: 1. Outside the main entrance to the Haley Academic building.
