It is imperative that students and their families develop a personal evacuation plan, and be ready to implement that plan if a storm threatens the New Orleans area.
Living with the threat of a serious hurricane is part of living in New Orleans. Because our first concern is for the safety of our students and employees, Tulane University has emergency plans and teams in place if a storm approaches the New Orleans area. We plan ahead in conjunction with city, parish and emergency officials.
However, you must plan ahead in the event of a tropical storm or hurricane weather emergency. Students and their families should develop their own personal emergency plans in the event New Orleans is threatened by a hurricane. These plans should include your destination and transportation arrangements.
Please visit the Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response Hurricane Preparedness guide for additional information.
