The Brown University Hurricane Plan is written to provide planning information and procedures prior to
a hurricane event. It is designed to work in conjunction with the Emergency Management &

Preparedness Plan for incident response, and the Emergency Action Plan for evacuation and shelter-in-
place procedures. The primary objectives of the plan are as follows:

• Safety and security of students, faculty, staff and visitors
• Mitigation of damages caused by the storm
• Restoration of business and academic operations as quickly as possible

We strongly urge all students, faculty and staff to take this plan and the threat of a hurricane strike to our
campus and community very seriously. The Emergency Management & Preparedness Plan is an element of the University’s overall preparedness
strategy of identifying, assessing and managing those risks that could threaten to disrupt Brown’s mission of education and research, or impact its students, faculty or employees. The Emergency Management & Preparedness Plan focuses on the first 72 hours following an incident which requires a University level response. To read our ‘Hurricane Plan’ in full please click here…
