Posted by × 08/24/2011 at 9:51 am

Hurricane forecast models are in agreement that Hurricane Irene will stay offshore as it passes Florida. Due to this information, at this time all university operations are taking place as scheduled. We will keep you updated should conditions change.

While the hurricane will likely not have a direct impact on South Florida, it is still possible that the area will experience bad weather and possible strong gusts of wind. It is important that every member of the university community remain alert and prepared as storms can change course unexpectedly.

It is important to remember that this is now the most active part of the hurricane season. Please continue to monitor weather forecasts on a regular basis.

FIU has a robust emergency communication system to help members of the university community stay informed before, during and after any emergency that affects our campuses. Please be familiar with this communication plan.
