In wake of Hurricane Matthew, institutions reassess emergency preparedness plans - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

Several coastal institutions remain closed Monday, as leaders continue to assess the damage from Hurricane Matthew, which ravaged parts of Florida and South Carolina over the weekend. At the University of Miami, classes and facilities have been canceled and closed since Thursday, and Inside Higher Ed reports Flagler College expects to be closed for several more days. Some areas of Florida, according to news and weather projections, could be inaccessible for "weeks or months," calling into question how the state will respond to potential and massive damages to campus structures, access points and operational integrity. http://www.educationdive.com/news/in-wake-of-hurricane-matthew-institutions-reassess-emergency-preparedness/427844/
