Severe Weather Warning
This notice is to advise you of severe weather expected to have an impact on the University community
Date: August 25, 2011
In preparation for Hurricane Irene making landfall on the East Coast on Saturday, Aug. 27, the University is advising all members of the Princeton campus community to consider appropriate preparations and to be sure to watch the University's home page -- www.princeton.edu -- for updates.
The National Weather Service is predicting tropical storm-force winds and storm conditions may affect New Jersey as part of what the service has characterized as a dangerous hurricane. Heavy wind gusts and flood conditions are possible, and faculty, staff and students are urged to take advantage of available resources to prepare for potential losses in power and accessibility to local roads.
The home page will be the primary source for general information in the event of an actual emergency, and campus opening and closing information also will be available on the University's weather emergency hotline, (609) 258-SNOW. In the unlikely event that extreme or extended power outages don't make it possible for the University to update the home page, the University will seek to provide basic information via Princeton's Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/PrincetonU) and Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/#!/princeton).
To prepare for a hurricane, the Centers for Disease Control and the Federal Emergency Management Agency recommend these general guidelines:
· Fill vehicle gas tanks.
· Stock emergency supplies that can last three to five days, including several clean containers of water, about five gallons for each person; non-perishable food; a first aid kit and manual; and a battery-powered radio, flashlights and extra batteries.
· Adjust refrigerators and freezers to their highest settings and keep the doors closed.
· Clear gutters and downspouts.
· Fill bathtubs and sinks with water for flushing toilets or cleaning.
· Stay away from windows.
Members of the community may report any flooding, clogged exterior drains or other hazardous conditions to the Facilities Customer Service Center at (609) 258-8000.
Additional information -- and links to resources -- is available in an announcement on the University's home page, www.princeton.edu.
