The Hurricane Alert System for Grice
Hurricane season lasts from June 1st through November 30th. The Laboratory Director, in consultation with the GML faculty and staff, will determine whether or not the GML will enact full hurricane (or storm) emergency procedures. These procedures may include the installation of hurricane shutters, the securing of offices, the teaching and research laboratories, the aquarium room, the computer laboratory, the boats, and the boat house. In addition, the Laboratory Director will determine whether or not the dormitory should be evacuated. Depending on the nature of the storm and its threat, less stringent preparations may be in order.
