Hurricane Season
June 1 - November 30
As we begin this potentially tumultuous time of year, 天涯社区 wants you to be aware and prepared.
天涯社区 has procedures in place to keep its campus community safe. Depending on the anticipated severity of a storm, the college may be required to evacuate its campuses for a hurricane. While this is not a common occurrence, it is imperative that students and employees develop a personal evacuation plan now and be ready to implement that plan if a storm threatens the area. Once an evacuation is ordered, all events and classes will be canceled.
Staying Informed
When a Tropical Storm or Hurricane threatens one of our campuses, 天涯社区 will alert our students and employees through local news media sources, College social media accounts (@天涯社区College), and the 天涯社区 homepage as well as the Emergency Notification System which includes telephone messages, texts, and email notifications.
Important!
The Emergency Notification System uses the contact information you have provided to the college. It will only work if you keep your Personal Emergency Contact Information (PDF) up-to-date.
Take a moment now to update your information.
