Hurricane Helene is a major\u202fstorm\u202fwhose full impact has yet to be known, and we recognize that members of our UCF community may have loved ones who will feel the effects of the storm. We encourage compassion and support for those whose families and hometowns may be affected.<\/p>\n

UCF’s Emergency Management team will stay in communication with our local National Weather Service office in Melbourne and the National Hurricane Center. Any additional updates will be shared through UCF Alert, ucf.edu\/hurricane<\/a>, and social media.<\/p>\n
