Planning for severe tropical weather

Student Hurricane Guide

The Hurricane Guide for Students contains useful guidance for all members of the Eckerd College community.

Hurricane Plan

The Hurricane Plan establishes organizational structure and procedures for preparation and response to tropical storms and hurricanes that may affect the College. It delineates and clarifies the roles of each part of the Eckerd College community as we work together to help protect the College. The purpose is to improve our preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery capabilities so that we can quickly resume our operations and keep the College operating even in the event of damage to the physical plant.

Hazard Mitigation Plan

Eckerd College initiated development of this Hazard Mitigation Plan because of long-standing awareness of the risks associated with natural hazards.
