SEVERE WEATHER AND NATURAL DISASTERS
Weather related emergencies may require closing of the college. Information regarding weather related closings will be communicated to the college community by use of the Weather Hotline: 439-5000, or Toll Free, at (800) 596-9452.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes have struck the region in the past with extremely high winds. If a hurricane is approaching New England, all department heads should monitor the storm via local radio, TV broadcasts, or the Internet. Directors of departments with response personnel shall pay particular attention to official forecasts from the National Hurricane Center/Tropical Prediction Center. These forecasts give projected storm paths as well as coastal city strike probabilities for a wide region.
. Hurricane “Watch” Status: When the National Hurricane Center issues a hurricane “watch,” it means that hurricane force winds may threaten the watch area within 48 – 72 hours.
. Hurricane “Warning” Status: A hurricane “warning” means hurricane conditions are likely within 24 hours.
o When a “warning” is issued, all departments should finalize storm preparations. This includes securing any sensitive records and equipment, and taking all precautions to minimize potential damage. If the college is closed, information will be announced via voicemail, local radio and TV broadcasts, as well as the college “Weather Hotline“ and “Connect-Ed” system.
o Senior Administrators and Department Heads will ensure that all preparations are completed in a timely fashion, to allow all non-essential personnel time to go home and prepare for the storm.
o No students, faculty, or staff other than those specifically designated to work during the storm, or those who live on campus, and have no other place to go, are expected to be on campus when the campus is closed for a hurricane emergency.
o At the hurricane “warning” stage, Connecticut College administrators, together with the Emergency Response Team, will make decisions on the possible need for on-campus shelters to open and essential personnel to work during the storm.
o Departments with outdoor equipment shall secure all loose or fragile objects that may become a hazard in high winds. 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：应急反应方案－快速参考指南 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN(7)
