Emergency Plan
The Alamo Colleges District has established an emergency system that contacts all employees and students via email, telephones and text messages. The information is provided by the individuals through the Personal Information link on their ACES page. It is imperative that employees and students take the initiative to keep this information up to date. A Safety Plan has been created to help facilitate emergencies, should they occur.
