Florida’s hurricane season lasts from June 1st through November 30th, and UCF has a comprehensive emergency plan coordinated by the Vice President for Administration and Finance and Chief Financial Officer. If campus is closed and emergency plans are enacted, all residents are encouraged to depart campus for a safe location, if they are able. Storm closings will typically require UCF to open campus ride-out locations for UCF DHRL residents, essential-operations staff members, and their families. The Director of Emergency Management, will establish an Emergency Operations Center to coordinate mission critical services such as security, utilities, dining services, and shelter support. Details of our Emergency Plan are posted on the Office of Emergency Management Website or here.
