Emergency Information and Resources

Emergency Information

Although there are set guidelines and procedures for various types of emergencies, no one set of responses can cover every possibility. Accordingly, in an emergency situation, two general guidelines should be remembered:

1. Remain calm and call 911 if emergency help is needed.
2. Clearly state the location of the emergency to be connected to the local communications center. If possible, send someone to the closest entrance to advise emergency responders to enter there.

When an emergency occurs, such as accidents resulting in serious injury or sudden illness, which requires emergency medical attention, call 911 from a campus or personal phone.

Accidents and First Aid
For minor medical needs, first aid supplies are available in the administrative offices of each building, above or beside AED machines in each building, the gym, and in shop classrooms. The College has no facilities for medical treatment other than minor first aid and assumes no responsibility for the treatment of students' injuries or illnesses; however, acute care may be available through Foothills Health District (ICC Health and Wellness Clinic), located in room 20 of the Student Center.

Students are encouraged to obtain medical insurance to cover illness/injury. Students experiencing an acute illness or injury that requires more than minor first aid may seek medical treatment at their own expense. If an accidental injury involves an enrolled student on campus or as part of a college-sponsored event or activity, it may be partially covered by student accident insurance. Information regarding student accident insurance is available in Student Affairs, located in room 7 of the Student Center. An incident report should be completed by the faculty or staff member who witnesses an accident or injury.
