Tragedies resulting in crisis situations have occurred all across the United States in recent years. College campus environments have not been exempt.  Federal and State regulations now require a formal College Disaster Preparedness Plan.

The Wharton County Junior College (WCJC) Disaster Preparedness Plan is designed to coordinate the efforts and responses of WCJC personnel should a disaster occur.

This Disaster Preparedness Plan consists of two major parts. The first is General Information on How to Handle an Event; the second is a set of Business Contingency Plans developed by each major department that supports a function of the College.

The College's Disaster Preparedness Plan can be viewed on the college internet site at www.wcjc.edu/about_n/Disaster Preparedness Manual 2007.pdf.
