If a hurricane was ever to target the Orlando area, you need to know what will be expected of you, and what you can expect from the University.
If a hurricane was expected to hit the University area, UCF would be closed, and you will be encouraged to go home if possible.
No one will be allowed to remain in the residence halls/apartments if UCF decides to open a ride-out location on campus. Your CA/RA will be informed that a ride-out location has been opened. At that time, the CA/RA will evacuate everyone from the buildings to the ride-out location, where you will have to remain until it is safe to return to the halls.
You should bring the following items with you to the ride-out location: Three days' worth of clothes, a sleeping bag or blanket, a pad to sleep on, toiletries, any prescription medication, important papers, snacks to eat, a small radio with batteries, a flashlight, portable cell phone charger and small games. Things that will not be allowed in the ride-out location: pets, alcohol, tobacco products or weapons.
