FAMU Returns to Normal Operations on Monday; Residence Halls Open Today

After a full assessment of storm damage, Florida A&M University (FAMU) will return to normal operations at all campuses on Monday, Sept. 30, 2024.

All on-campus residential facilities are now open. Students are asked to check-in with your facility office to advise of your return. Residential dining services will be closed today and will reopen on Saturday, Sept. 28. The FAMU Venom Shuttle Service will resume normal weekend operations, beginning Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Please remain cautious while returning to Tallahassee from out of town as crews continue to clean roads and restore power.

Coleman Library will reopen on Sunday, Sept. 29 from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The FAMU Educational Research Center for Child Development (ERCCD) and the FAMU Developmental Research School (K-12) will reopen on Monday.

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.
