Storm Contact Information
Unfortunately, hurricanes are a part of life in South Florida. Hurricane season begins on June 1 and continues through November 30 each year.
In the aftermath of a storm, when communications may be severely disrupted, our staff tries to communicate with the University community to make sure everyone is safe and to advise them of our business continuation plans. It is important that we have the most current contact information possible.
Students are encouraged to complete the Emergency and Storm Preparedness Information through myUM to notify the University as to where they plan to stay during a storm or who will know how to reach them. This process is accomplished by going to myUM and clicking on the Personal, Address and Emergency/Storm Information link under the Personal & Biographical Info section.
As storms approach, the University will send out emails to all students and conduct meetings with resident students to provide them with instructions. After a storm, students should check-in and indicate their whereabouts by accessing the Recover website. Students will be able to provide contact and location information at this site which can be used in case recovery efforts are necessary.
