Hurricane Preparedness

Hurricane Season
June 1 – November 30

Hurricane season begins June 1.

Do you know what to do if a hurricane threatens or hits the Rio Grande Valley? How will you know if the campus has been closed? After a storm passes, how will you know when to return to work or classes?

Departments should update phone numbers of all employees to have on hand for a departmental phone tree.

Return-to-campus notification will be posted on the university website, sent out via University email accounts, by text messages from Campus Police (to students and employees registered in the emergency notification system), and through the following local media outlets:

UTB/TSC has prepared a flyer to guide you on what to do in the event of a hurricane. Keep it for handy reference, for use before and after the storm.
