EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
To ensure the safety
of Delgado's
students, faculty,
and staff, the
College has
developed an
extensive
Delgado Emergency
Preparedness Plan
as well as a
Delgado Hurricane
Emergency Plan
in the event of a
weather emergency.
The College's
primary concern is
the safety, health,
and well being of
its community
members. All
decisions reflect
this ethic.
Evacuation outside
the storm area is
always recommended
during a hurricane
as the best possible
way to ensure
personal safety.
Upon college
closing, all
students, faculty,
and staff are
encouraged to seek
safety through
evacuation outside
of the storm area.
Authority for class
cancellations and
College closures
comes from Delgado's
Chancellor, Dr. Alex
Johnson.
Students
Should any student in good conscience decide to leave prior to the official cancellation of classes, the student is responsible for making provisions for missed classes and assignments with his or her instructors directly. In the event of a college closing due to a weather emergency, students should monitor Delgado's website or call the Delgado information line (504-671-5000) for further instructions, as well as monitor local television and radio stations for updated news and information regarding College re-openings.
Faculty and Staff
In the event of a college closing due to a weather emergency, faculty and staff are expected to monitor Delgado's website www.dcc.edu or call the Delgado information line (504-671-5000) for further instructions, as well as monitor local television and radio stations for updated news and information regarding College re-openings. Faculty and staff are expected to follow the instructions communicated through the Delgado website and information line, which serve as the official points of communication for faculty and staff.
