FAMU Campuses in Orlando, Miami, and Jacksonville Return to Normal Operations; Assessments Continue at the Tampa and Brooksville Locations

Florida A&M University (FAMU) is completing storm damage assessment at its South Florida campuses after Hurricane Milton. The Miami, Orlando and Jacksonville locations sustained minimal damage and will return to normal operations on Monday, October 14, 2024.

Storm damage assessment will continue through the weekend at the Tampa and Brooksville campuses.Additional updates will be provided as soon as possible.

The affected preceptors and learners will be provided with detailed information regarding the finalized makeup plan, which will be tailored to their respective sites, once it has been confirmed.

General guidelines for post-storm safety include:

• Pay attention to local officials for information and special instructions.
• Do not drive through flood water. Turn Around. Don't Drown! Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
• Do not wade in flood water, which can contain dangerous pathogens that cause illnesses. This water also can contain debris, chemicals, waste, and wildlife. Underground or downed power lines also can electrically charge the water.
• Save phone calls for emergencies. Phone systems often are down or busy after a disaster. Use text messages or social media to communicate with family and friends.

The University administration will continue to monitor the conditions on campus and provide updates as necessary. Students, faculty, and staff are urged to stay informed and prioritize their safety during this period.
