severe weather

Violent weather, by nature, is unpredictable, however, the approach of such weather is often known in advance.  Good communication and quick response throughout the UNCP community will minimize the possible damage caused by violent weather (via voice mail, e-mail, building announcements, etc.)

Quick Response

Remain Calm and Act – DON’T REACT!
Seek refuge away from windows.
Call 911 if assistance is necessary.
Evacuate if an alarm sounds.

Tornado/Hurricane

  • Move into an interior hallway, away from open doors and windows.
  • Do not use electrical equipment or phones.
  • Do not use elevators.  Go to the lowest level of the building.  Take shelter.
  • Sit on the floor and put your head in your lap.  Cover your head with your arms.
  • Remain calm.

University Closing and Cancellations

The University will provide television and radio stations with timely updates on any campus closings, cancellations and delays due to inclement weather.

Hurricane advisories will be made 24 hours in advance on the University weather hotline.

Employees and students are urged not to call University Police for weather-related updates. They may call 6888 for broadcast messages or refer to the University hotline page on the UNCP website.
