Hurricane emergency procedures established
With hurricane season well underway, faculty, staff, and friends of the University are reminded to listen to the campus radio station, WVUM-FM 90.5, or commercial stations WINZ-AM 94.0 or WZTA-FM 94.9 for the latest official weather news. If the University is endangered by severe weather, directions and detailed information will be provided by these three radio stations.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issues hurricane watches as first notice that a hurricane is a definite threat to a portion of the Florida coast. The watch generally is given 36 hours before the storm is expected to hit the coast and is the time for preliminary storm preparation.
A hurricane warning is the second such notice issued by NWS. According to the University’s policies and procedures manual, upon notification of a warning, all University personnel are expected to:
•	clear desk tops, laboratory tables, and other fur niture completely of paper and other articles;
•	protect books, valuable items, and equipment by covering them with plastic sheeting and masking tape;
•	move desks, file cabinets, and other office furniture away from windows;
•	close and latch both windows and doors;
•	turn off or disconnect all electrical equipment; and
•	provide for the necessary care and feeding erf all animals, where applicable.
Once the hurricane warning status is lifted by NWS,
the coordinator of hurricane planning will determine which buildings and facilities may be used safely for classes and other purposes and will make appropriate recommendations to the president.
President Edward T Foote II will issue instructions concerning the resumption of classes and University business.
