Severe Weather Emergency

The decision to close or delay opening of the campus due to weather or another emergency is made by the President’s Office.

Should it be necessary to close the campus because of inclement weather or an emergency condition, a campus closing announcement will be displayed on dunwoody.edu, communicated on local television stations and their websites, and via Dunwoody’s Facebook, Instagram, & Threads accounts. Students and employees will also receive emergency alerts to their phones and Dunwoody email accounts.

Severe Weather Emergency Evacuation

If severe weather conditions develop:

• Dunwoody will inform building occupants through the Emergency Notification System and campus Public Address System to take shelter immediately.
• All campus occupants will take shelter in designated severe weather shelter areas.
• Do not use the elevators and stay away from areas with windows or glass, if possible, while going to the designated shelter area.
• Remain in the shelter area until the “all-clear” message is communicated through the Emergency Notification System and campus Public Address System.
• Faculty/Staff should lead any students in your buildings and classrooms to the shelter areas and wait for communication from Public Safety officers or notification systems. Inform Public Safety officers of any medical needs.
• Persons with mobility impairments should not try to move up or down stairs, but should find refuge in the safest designated interior space. Persons with visual impairments should seek assistance from another person if needed, when moving downstairs.
