\"Tropical<\/p>\n

At FIU, we continue to monitor Tropical Storm Elsa, which was downgraded from hurricane status this morning. The university\u2019s emergency operations center remains activated.<\/p>\n

Although it is still unclear how the storm will impact our region, as a precaution, both the Green and Hubert libraries will close at 6 p.m. on Sunday, July 4, and will remain closed on Monday, July 5, for the holiday. In addition, the Curative COVID-19 testing stations on campus will be closed on Monday, July 5.<\/p>\n

This is a good time to make sure you and your family have several days\u2019 worth of supplies and medicines. Please monitor local media and pay attention to updates from the\u00a0National Hurricane Center<\/a>\u00a0throughout the next few days.<\/p>\n

FIU has a communication protocol to keep the community informed about university operations during emergencies, including storms. Please look for emails, follow FIU on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0and check\u00a0FIU News<\/a>\u00a0and monitor local media for updates.<\/p>\n

Storm preparation may be a new experience for many members of our university community. For tips on what to do, please visit the\u00a0FIU Department of Emergency Management<\/a>\u00a0website or\u00a0Miami-Dade County\u2019s Hurricane Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
