Inclement Weather/Emergency Information


If the College closes due to inclement weather or an emergency situation requires it, an announcement of the closure will be made via radio and television networks. The stations that will carry college closure information are attached. Once a decision has been made regarding college closure, a notice will also be posted on the MHCC website, and the College answering machine.

Every effort will be made to have public announcements about closures or late openings made by 5:30 a.m. If a closure occurs during normal business hours, a decision will be made to close by 4 p.m. that day. This procedure is in effect seven days a week except holidays or when the college is normally closed. A closure announcement about MHCC includes all college classes, athletic events, activities, and educational centers including the Bruning Center, Maywood , East Multnomah County Head Start, and other college locations . If it is necessary to close a specific activity or facility, the announcement will be specific in that regard.
