Emergency Response Procedures
The College has defined emergency response procedures which are available in
the Campus Safety office and outlined on the College website at:
http://www.sbc.edu/campus-safety/emergency-management-plan. There are
also procedures for notifying the campus community regarding a significant
emergency or immediate threat to the community. This occurs through campus
email, via College phones and through the e2Campus Emergency
Communication System.
e2Campus Emergency Communication System
Sweet Briar College offers e2Campus, a mass notification system, to quickly
notify individuals in case of emergency, including events such as winter weather
and tornadoes. It has the capacity to alert students, faculty, residents, staff,
family and friends with text messages on their cell phones. In addition to cell
phones, e2Campus enables SBC to send important campus information via the
College website, RSS, PDA, Email, Text Pager, and Google, AOL, or MY
