What should you do if a Category 4 hurricane threatens the University but then weakens significantly?

Monitoring the Emergency Alerts Web Page for updates is the most appropriate action to take when a hurricane threat changes. This resource is specifically designed to provide the latest and most accurate information regarding the University’s status and operations during emergencies. As situations can evolve rapidly, relying on official communication channels ensures that you receive timely updates and guidance from the University regarding safety protocols, class schedules, and work status.

Other options may not guarantee the most current or official information. Reporting to work or class without confirmation may not be wise, as the University may still remain closed despite the storm's weakening. Calling a supervisor can be helpful, but it may delay your access to the most updated information that is broadly communicated to the entire University community. Looking for updates in the newspaper or on TV may not provide the immediate, specific information pertinent to the University that the Emergency Alerts Web Page can offer.
