Hurricane Milton

Oct 09, 2024

Update #6

Barry University’s Command Decision Team (CDT) continues to closely monitor Hurricane Milton. As the nature of these storms are at times unpredictable, we continue to evaluate and make informed decisions based on the latest data available through our emergency management partners throughout the State of Florida.

All Barry University locations throughout the State of Florida are closed through tomorrow, Thursday, October 10th. All classes (in-person and online), activities and events are canceled.

A significant portion of the State of Florida is currently under a Tornado Watch, including Miami-Dade and Broward counties. There has already been reports of over 50 tornadoes throughout the state. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, be ready to shelter quickly, preferably away from windows and in an interior room not prone to flooding.

All residential students on the main campus should continue to follow the guidance of Housing and Residence Life. Essential personnel (e.g. Campus Safety, Dining, Facilities, Housing and Residence Life) will be on campus. Dining hall will remain open for standard operating hours. Union Market will be open from 10am-6pm. All other dining locations will be closed.

Additional notifications will be sent as conditions warrant.

Barry University students and employees should continue to monitor the barry.edu/prepare website, our Emergency Hotline at 305-899-4000, and local media outlets for the latest updates.
