The March 6 drill will be a campus-wide drill that will include staff and faculty. Adjunct faculty are invited to participate. Kids Campus, the Witter Fitness Education Center, KSFR and La Familia will be included in the drill.

The purpose of this plan is to identify the proposed actions and responsibilities to be taken by the different Law Enforcement, Medical Emergency agencies and Santa Fe Community College (SFCC). The drill will be a coordinated training process between all agencies involved and SFCC.
