Lone Star College is committed to providing a safe environment in which to learn, study, and work.  As a member of the LSC community, each of us has a personal responsibility to be prepared, to be informed, and to have a plan in the event of an emergency.   Preparation, which includes practice, is the key to success in dealing with an emergency situation. Preparation is an ongoing process. It is important to remember that the usual means of support and assistance available during normal business operations may not be available during or after an emergency.

Individuals who may need assistance during an evacuation or lockdown should contact appropriate campus/location personnel to determine appropriate accommodations to maintain safety.  If you know you will need assistance to evacuate during an emergency, please register by calling X5911 or 281.290.5911. These services are available 24 hours a day to assist you. Also, please visit  LSC Accessibility Services and Resources for additional supports and services.
