Analysis
Reading the policy
CCC&TI (Hudson/Boone-area Watauga Campus, NC) publishes Timely Warnings and emergency notification procedures in its 2025 Campus Annual Security Report. When campus security authorities and/or senior administration judge an ongoing or continuing threat (on or off campus), a campus-wide timely warning is issued via the electronic emergency notification system currently Regroup, plus email, social media, and the College website. For immediate threats, senior administrators may also employ the intercom system available on both Caldwell and Watauga campuses.
Published warnings include date, audience, crime of concern, protective actions, information requests about similar crimes, contact information, and how to report. For emergency initiation, security authorities or senior administration determine content before notifying the affected community. Primary emergency alert and warning means include the ReGroup notification system, intercom, fire alarm, email, phone, walkie-talkies, air horns, mega horns, and runners for immediate transmission and evacuation. Campus Security Authorities disseminate emergency information; local law enforcement/fire are notified via 911. The campus security page also states the Vice President of Student Services provides timely warnings for Clery Act crimes representing serious or continuing threats. Complements multi-site mountain NC CC coverage with A-B Tech, Wilkes, Blue Ridge, and Isothermal.
