The UHD Story Isn't Complete

With 50 Years of stories to be told, why not share yours?
SHARE YOUR STORY

If consumer fireworks are legal to buy where you live and you choose to use them, be sure to follow the following safety tips:

  • Never hold lighted fireworks in your hands
  • Never light them indoors
  • Never point or throw fireworks at another person
  • Only light one device at a time and maintain a safe distance after lighting
  • Do not try to re-light or handle malfunctioning fireworks
  • Keep a bucket of water nearby to fully extinguish fireworks that don't go off or in case of fire
  • Never use illegal fireworks
  • Never allow young children to handle fireworks
    • Sparklers burn at about 2,000 degrees

Prepare Yourself

● Make sure to register for all UHD emergency alerts by logging into myUHD and updating Campus Emergency Notification information.

● Keep your cell phone charged at all times. Purchase a solar-powered USB charger.

● If you become stranded on campus in the event of an emergency, call UHD Police immediately with your location.

● If you remain on campus during an emergency, download and check in with the SafeZone App. The app allows you to communicate directly with UHDPD Dispatch in an emergency.

● Drive with caution. And remember– Turn Around, Don’t Drown. NEVER drive around barriers or through high water!

DO

● If outside, seek shelter immediately in a low-lying area.

● Protect yourself from flying and falling debris.

● Go to the lowest floor in a multi-story building if time permits.

● Go to an inside room without windows (bathroom, closet, center hallway).

● Follow all public announcements and instructions sent via UHD Alert.




DON'T

● Take shelter in a motor vehicle. It is the least desirable place during a tornado.

● Go to large open rooms such as cafeterias, gyms, or auditoriums.
