Hurricane Preparedness
Our Preparedness Plan
Texas A&M University-Corpus
Christi operates under a Hurricane/Tropical Storm Defense Plan to
safeguard students, faculty and staff
and to protect campus facilities in
the event of a hurricane or tropical storm. The plan covers
responsibilities and courses of action
for students, faculty and staff
throughout the hurricane season. The University utilizes an Incident
Command System, where administrators
and others throughout the campus
continually monitor tropical disturbances, tropical depressions,
tropical storms and hurricanes to
determine if there is the likelihood
of an impact to the University. In an emergency, these individuals,
through this structure, will
engage all necessary procedures to
support the University’s people and facilities.
