HURRICANE PROCEDURES
June through November is hurricane season in Florida. To provide for your safety, the
university has developed emergency hurricane procedures. Once a hurricane watch is
announced on the campus by the administration, immediate action will be taken. Your safety
and the safety of others is dependent upon adherence to the following procedures. Each
resident must report to their RA in the designated area of their respective hall. Students who
choose to remain on campus must:
1. Check in with RA and follow directions given.
2. Secure their rooms:
a. close windows and open blinds.
b. place all valuables in locked closets and drawers.
c. remove as much as possible from floor in case of flooding.
3. Go directly to assigned shelter with the following:
a. blanket and pillow
b. personal supplies, including prescription medicines
c. flashlight, games, battery radio, snacks
If evacuation from the residence halls is necessary, the shelters will be the university
library and Thompson Hall. Residents of Sage and Browne will go to Thompson Hall.
Residents of Flood, Weber, Mottram-Doss and Dalton-Dunspaugh will go to the library.
Students who choose to remain on-campus must abide by all security precautions and
instructions issued by the vice president of Student Services or his delegate. Resident students
who choose to stay off-campus MUST give their RA the name of the person with whom they
are staying and an address and telephone number where they may be reached. This
information will be communicated only to parents or guardians.
