Severe Weather
You can receive text or voice alerts of emergencies or weather-related closings on your campus via cell or home phone and e-mail. Sign up today for the CUNY A!ert system.
A major snowfall, blackout or other extraordinary occurrence may force alteration or cancellation of college schedules. For information during these situations, call 718.951.5111, or listen to the following radio stations:
If a weather emergency, such as a hurricane, occurs:
- Move away from the perimeter of the building and any exterior glass.
- Leave all exterior offices and close the doors.
- Go to an enclosed area in the building core (e.g., an elevator lobby, corridor, restroom, stairwell).
- Sit down and protect your head.
- Do not use elevator; if in transit in the building, take the stairwell to the lobby.
Note
Upon the recommendation of college officials, or when there is a significant security concern, the safest course of action may be to set up temporary shelter on campus.
