Past Weather Advisories

DESCRIPTION:

Nova Southeastern University is closely monitoring Tropical Storm Philippe, which is making its way through the Atlantic Ocean. Based on the modeling, Tropical Storm Philippe remains over the open waters of the central Atlantic – it is expected to move very slowly westward over the next several days.

From Friday to Monday, Tropical Storm Philippe could produce 2-4 inches of rain across the islands of the northeastern Caribbean, the Virgin Islands and eastern Puerto Rico. Western Puerto Rico could see 1 to 2 inches of rain, with areas hardest hit by rainfall possibly experiencing isolated urban and small stream flooding.

Based on this projected path, this is the perfect time for NSU students, faculty, and staff review their personal hurricane/storm plans and ensure preparedness. Now is also a great time to verify that your most current contact information is up to date in NSU’s system. This will ensure you receive all emergency communications from the university (email, texts, phone calls, etc.)

To register your information and/or to check and update your existing contact information, please visit nova.edu/emergency/notification/registration-process. As this situation develops and new information becomes available it will be posted to NSU’s Hurricane page.

DESCRIPTION:

Nova Southeastern University is closely monitoring Hurricane Lee, which is forecast to be a major hurricane as it makes its way through the southeastern Atlantic Ocean. Based on the modeling, the storm is projected to continue on its current east-northeast path, taking it north of Puerto Rico this coming weekend.

Current models do not show the storm having a direct impact on Puerto Rico, however, it’s important to remember that projected storm tracks are just that – projections. As the storm travels, its actual route can deviate one way or another, which can quickly put Puerto Rico more in the storm’s path.

Based on the current path and other weather systems that will interact with the storm in the coming days, Hurricane Lee is forecast to turn north and will not have any direct impacts on any other NSU campus location.

While the storm is going to be nearest our Puerto Rico Campus, this is the perfect time for NSU students, faculty, and staff at all of our locations to review their personal hurricane/storm plans and ensure preparedness. Now is also a great time to verify that your most current contact information is up to date in NSU’s system. This will ensure you receive all emergency communications from the university (email, texts, phone calls, etc.)

As of 10:00 a.m. Monday, November 7, a Hurricane WATCH was issued for most of Florida’s east coast (including Broward and Palm Beach counties) while some other Florida counties are under a Tropical Storm WATCH due to Subtropical Storm Nicole. This means that tropical storm or hurricane conditions are possible in the next 48 hours.

NSU encourages you to review your storm preparation plans and ensure you have the supplies needed should the storm impact your area. Given its forecast, it is clear many parts of Florida will feel the effects of this storm, so it is vital not to delay your preparations.

This situation will change rapidly as the storm approaches, and we will communicate with the NSU community via email, news media alerts, social media and other channels. In addition, individuals can obtain NSU updates ONLINE (https://nova.edu/hurricane/).

WHERE TO GET UPDATES

Being prepared for a disaster includes a series of steps that will help you to be more resilient in the event of severe weather or some other unfortunate situation.

PREPARING FOR A STORM
The first step in preparing for any disaster is being informed. You can accomplish this step by:

• Reviewing NSU’s Severe Weather Emergency Procedures,
• Staying alert, listening to local media reports, monitoring social media channels (NSU’s Twitter and NSU’s Facebook page)

PLANNING
The next step is planning. Being prepared can lessen the complications that always seem to accompany any type of emergency or disaster.

• Review the NSU Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan that Nova Southeastern University has developed to keep the university safe.
  • You can write your own personal emergency plan; this process will not take that much time and can prove to be very valuable in times of emergency. Please visit www.ready.gov for additional checklists that can assist you, including help with building an emergency kit to include the supplies required to sustain yourself and your family for a period of 72 hours.

Preparedness begins with you and you should not miss any opportunity to prepare yourself for situations like Hurricane Irma to help keep yourself and the NSU community safe.

Remember, should severe weather, tropical storms, or hurricanes threaten any of NSU's campuses or sites, we will provide updates about NSU's operating status, campus closings, re-openings, and event cancellations on the university's website at www.nova.edu/hurricane and via the NSU Emergency Hotline at 800-256-5065 as warranted.

DESCRIPTION:

By now we have all seen the images of the utter devastation that many communities on the West Coast and in Central Florida have suffered due to Hurricane Ian. Many of those communities are also where Nova Southeastern University has a regional campus. Early reports indicate that our buildings and facilities survived the storm well, however our thoughts are with our students and colleagues who may have suffered damages or losses.

Preliminary reports of our regional campuses show:

• Fort Myers: While our building fared well during Hurricane Ian, the surrounding community is dealing with a tremendous amount of destruction and devastation. As such, the Fort Myers Campus REMAINS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available.
• Tampa Bay: The building had some minor water intrusion, but is operational and will REOPEN Monday, October 3 under normal operating conditions. All students, faculty and staff should report as usual. If anyone has any questions or extenuating circumstances, they should contact their supervisor, program director or professor directly.
• Orlando: While there was some minor damage, the building is operational and will REOPEN Monday, October 3 under normal operating conditions. All students, faculty and staff should report as usual. If anyone has any questions or extenuating circumstances, they should contact their supervisor, program director or professor directly.
• Jacksonville: NSU’s facility in Jacksonville did not suffer any significant damage from Hurricane Ian, and the surrounding communities are working to return to normal. As such, NSU’s Jacksonville Campus will REOPEN Monday, October 3 under normal operating conditions. All students, faculty and staff should report as usual. If anyone has any questions or extenuating circumstances, they should contact their supervisor, program director or professor directly.
• Puerto Rico: NSU’s Puerto Rico Regional Campus has recovered from the impacts of Hurricane Fiona. The facility is fully ready and has reopened and classes have resumed. All students, faculty and staff should report as usual. If anyone has any questions or extenuating circumstances, they should contact their supervisor, program director or professor directly.

While the majority of our Regional Campus buildings may be in good shape, unfortunately, many of the communities in which they are located are not. Right now, students, faculty and staff in those areas are hurting – they need help.

And that is where NSU Cares comes in.

The NSU Cares Fund was established to help students, employees and alumni in the aftermath of earthquakes, hurricanes, fires and other unimaginable disasters. It is made possible by donations from alumni, faculty, staff and community supporters.

Many of us have already donated to various charities and organizations dedicated to helping those who have been impacted by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian. If you are looking for a way to directly help fellow members of the NSU community, the NSU Cares Fund can help.

The NSU Cares team at NSU has received an influx of emergency aid applications following Hurricanes Fiona and Ian from students and alumni from various communities. And that need is anticipated to continue to grow.

This is an opportunity to directly help others in our NSU family: it’s a way for NSU Sharks to directly help other NSU Sharks.

• If you can help, we encourage you to donate to NSU Cares: https://lnkd.in/eHSFGER4 
• If you need help, we strongly encourage you to apply for aid: https://lnkd.in/euS4cMZH

Whatever you can do to help those impacted by these storms is greatly appreciated.

NSU is closely monitoring Tropical Storm Fiona and its potential impact on Puerto Rico. The current track for the storm tropical storm conditions are possible beginning on Saturday evening into Sunday. At this time, we do not anticipate any disruption to campus operations or classes.

PREPARING FOR A STORM
The first step in preparing for any disaster is being informed. You can accomplish this step by reviewing NSU’s Severe Weather Emergency Procedures and staying alert and listening to local media reports.

PLANNING
The next step is planning. Review the NSU Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan that Nova Southeastern University has developed to keep the university safe.

You can also write your own personal emergency plan; this process will not take that much time and can prove to be very valuable in times of emergency. Please visit www.ready.gov for checklists that can assist you to build an emergency kit suggesting required to sustain yourself and your family for a period of 72 hours.

Preparedness begins with you, and you should not miss any opportunity to prepare yourself now to help keep yourself and the entire NSU community safe.

WHERE TO GET UPDATES
Should the storm impact the campus, we will provide updates about NSU's operating status, campus closings, event cancellations and re-openings as necessary. Notices will be posted through the following:

• The university's website at www.nova.edu/hurricane
• The NSU Emergency Hotline at (954) 262-7300

We recommend storing the hotline number in your cell phone so it is readily available if you need it. Information is updated on the hotline and posted on the website as frequently as warranted.

Information will also be distributed via e-mail, so it is important you sign up to receive NSU Alerts.
