Clemson University continues to closely monitor Hurricane Irma. Forecasters say that South Carolinians should remain vigilant and expect heavy rain and strong winds. The Sept. 6 executive order that declared a state of emergency in South Carolina remains in effect.
Here’s what we’re doing:
-Clemson remains in regular contact with local and state emergency services.
-University officials have reached out to colleges and universities on the coast and are ready to host their students during evacuations.
-CCIT is also monitoring the situation and will post any system updates to ccit.clemson.edu and on Twitter @ClemsonIT.
Here’s what you should do:
-Review your emergency plan. The CU Safety page, the South Carolina Emergency Management Division and the National Weather Service provide safety and emergency planning tips.
-Be informed. Clemson provides updates through:
—Clemson University homepage
—CU alerts page
–University email
–CU Safe Alert text messages via cell phone – click here for directions on how to sign up to receive alerts.
–CU Safe Twitter account @cusafety
-Students should share this information with their friends and parents.
The Clemson vs. Auburn football game will commence as scheduled at 7 p.m. Saturday. Because some law enforcement agencies have been deployed to the coast, spectators may experience higher-than-normal traffic delays, so plan accordingly.
Clemson will work with local and state officials and will update you with information as we receive it.
