If we have Green River Flooding
Green River Community College will not be in the immediate flood zone should there be serious flooding this winter. However, services such as sewer, power, key transportation routes and transit service may be disrupted for a period of time. All students should be prepared with a personal plan in the unlikely event we should need to close operations. How Green River is preparing:1. The Emergency Operations Committee is actively preparing a plan for the general campus 2. Providing a preparedness plan for students living in on-campus housing and surrounding area of Lea Hill 3. Developing an information page on our College web site, placing information and updates on the IP Blog, Facebook and Angel 4.
