If Electrical Service is Interrupted

• Use only flashlights for illumination. NEVER use candles, grills, or any other open- flame device inside a Residence Hall or any other campus building. Doing so creates extreme fire and life safety hazards.
• Keep windows closed to retain heat. Dress in layers to enhance comfort.
• Remember to stay hydrated and eat regularly.
• Frequently-used services such as University computer networks, ATM and vending machines, and laundry facilities will be inoperative.
• Classrooms, labs, Davis Library, and recreational facilities will remain closed during the outage.

Essential Supplies

• Drinking Water
• Cell Phone - fully charged
• Flashlight - with extra batteries, if possible
• Cash - ATMs and Credit / Debit Card processors will not function during an outage
• Battery-Powered Radio
• Prescription Medications
• Foods that don't require refrigeration or warming

Driving on Campus

• Operating a vehicle when ice or snow is present on the road surface is potentially dangerous to yourself and others. Do not operate a vehicle under such conditions unless you have absolutely no other option.
• Some campus roadways may have to be closed due to icing. Provisions will be made for students and staff to access the Residence Halls.
• NEVER move traffic control barriers or attempt to drive on a closed roadway.
• Always drive at a safe and reasonable speed for whatever conditions you may face.
• Leave extra distance between your vehicle and others ahead of you. Your vehicle's stopping distance will be much longer on snow or ice, even at lower speeds.
• If your vehicle starts to skid, turn into the direction of the skid.
• If a portion of Lower Fields Drive is closed, residents of McLean may have to use the driveway adjacent to Cape Fear Commons for enter and leave by vehicle.
