Emergency Preparedness
The motto of the Environmental, Health and Safety Committee (EHSC) at Clearwater Christian College could be "Fundamental principles played out in
specific situations." Due to the nature of an unexpected emergency, specific events cannot be foreseen, but the fundamental principles established by
CCC apply in each emergency situation.
In the event of weather emergencies such as hurricanes or flooding, CCC has specific evacuation and protection programs designed with you in mind. The
Chief of Security monitors inclement weather and potential severe storm warnings 24/7 in order to stay abreast of current weather conditions and
take any action necessary. If a weather emergency does not merit evacuation according to governmental agencies, no evacuation will be ordered, but you
will remain safe in your dorm. Should we decide to evacuate campus, an order will be announced to the student body publically and on the landing page of
the CCC website. If internet connection to the main website is lost, information will be posted on an alternate, remote website that is directly linked
to the main page. All decisions to evacuate campus are made with student safety in mind; information for a safe return will be made available as soon
as possible.
 In the event of a non-weather related emergency, the college has developed a First Alert text message warning system. Students, staff, and faculty will be
notified immediately of the situation and will be given direction on how to respond. While it is difficult to plan against the irrational, we have taken
the necessary steps to put warning systems, reliable security, and preventative measures into place.

I chose CCC because I was looking for a Christian College that had a Pre-med program. My older brother is a CCC student, and as I looked into it more, I knew it was where I needed to be. So far I have really enjoyed my science classes! The teachers are great and I have really enjoyed being here. The environment is very family-like. I'm also involved in my Greek and enjoy doing things for the community with my fellow members.
