Update: According to an email from Public Safety, the Morningside Evening Shuttle service has been temporarily suspended.
It isn't even winter yet, but New York has already had its fair share of inclement weather. We've seen storms that didn't quite hit, storms that really hit, and just this morning, some brief flurries of snow. Now stormy weather is back, with "a significant storm with high winds and heavy rain" set to hit the Greater New York area later this afternoon. Check out the full email from Columbia's Emergency Management Operation Team below.
Dear Fellow Members of the Columbia Community,
A significant storm with high winds and heavy rain is forecast to affect the Greater New York area from this afternoon through Thursday morning. The Emergency Management Operations Team is monitoring the situation and will continue to provide updates to the Columbia community if the need arises.
Students, faculty and staff should take time to secure their spaces as soon as possible, to help preserve buildings, materials, equipment and data.
1. Make sure all windows are closed securely. This single step may be the most important way that you can protect your spaces—and those of others—from potentially damaging high winds and heavy rain.
2. Please turn off computers, lights and other equipment when leaving your space. Additionally, electrical or valuable items should be moved off the floor and away from windows.
