Upcoming Tabletop Emergency Drill - September 26, 2025
Emergency preparedness is essential to keeping our community safe. Our bi-annual emergency drill is scheduled for Friday, September 26, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the Oceanside Campus.
This drill is being conducted in partnership with the Oceanside Police Department and the Oceanside Fire Department. As part of the exercise, you will see an increased presence of first responders on campus to support integration and coordination. Additionally, an emergency helicopter could be landing in Parking Lot 2A as part of the drill.
How does this impact you?
- Parking: Lot 1C will be closed during the drill. Please plan ahead and park in alternative areas.
- First Responder Presence: Expect to see additional police, fire, and emergency vehicles on campus.\
- Evacuation Option: You are welcome to engage in the evacuation exercise. If you choose not to participate, please take this opportunity to review the emergency exits in your building, office, or classroom so you are familiar with them in case of a real emergency. Evacuation maps of all 麻豆影视 sites
Student Support Services
If students need support as a result of the drill, currently enrolled students can go to Health Services (OC 14114) to request a drop-in mental health counseling appointment.
This exercise will differ from our previous drills, as all participants will gather at a single date, time, and location rather than across multiple campuses. We will focus on a specific scenario using the Incident Command System (ICS) structure to apply what we have learned and strengthen our ability to respond effectively in a crisis.
No emergency drills will take place at the San Elijo or Community Learning Center campuses during this session.
Thank you for your continued commitment to campus safety and emergency readiness. To learn more, please visit

Important Update: Elevator Out of Service in Student Services Building, Oceanside Campus
Hi Spartans!
The elevator in the Student Services Building on the Oceanside Campus (1 Barnard Drive) is currently out of service and will remain unavailable for the next several weeks. Unfortunately, this means that there is no ADA access from the second floor to the first floor of the building during this time. We recognize this presents challenges, especially for those who rely on the elevator to access key resources such as the Food Pantry, Health Services, Student Accessibility Service, and other support programs.
For those who typically use this elevator, the nearest accessible routes to the second floor of the Student Services building are available from:
- The pedestrian bridge via Lot 5A off Barnard Drive.
- Parking Lot 1C via Lot 1B off Barnard Drive.
Please find the map of the Oceanside Campus to assist in locating alternative access points.
To support you while repairs are underway, we are making the following accommodations:
- Food Pantry Access
- Students with a valid disabled placard may use 10-minute parking in front of the Student Services Building while accessing the Food Pantry and other services on the first floor.
- Staff are also prepared to provide assistance as needed on the 2nd floor. Please call
760.757.2121 x2200 or email care@miracosta.edu to arrange assistance.
- Health Services
- Health Services is able to offer mental health counseling sessions outdoors by request
for students who are unable to get downstairs. Please contact Health Services in advance
if you require assistance. Phone: 760.795.6675; Email: mccshs@miracosta.edu
- Student Accessibility Services (SAS)
- If you have any questions or need assistance with alternate access, please contact
SAS by email at sas@miracosta.edu or by phone at 760.795.6658.
Staff from other programs located on the first floor will be able to assist students on the second floor when needed.
We know this is an inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience as we work through this unexpected situation. Student safety remains our top priority, and we are committed to minimizing disruption to your access to essential services.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We will update you as soon as the elevator is repaired and back in service.
