Include enough food and water for three days, and don\u2019t forget medications, identification and a weather radio.<\/p>\n<p>The UCF Alert text and email message system will be used to keep the university community notified of severe weather threats. All students and employees are automatically signed up to receive these messages, and settings can be updated via <a href=\"https:\/\/my.ucf.edu\">myUCF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, updates will be shared on UCF\u2019s official social media channels and at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ucf.edu<\/a>. Let\u2019s each do our part by staying aware and prepared, and together, we\u2019ll make UCF a safer place for all of us.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed oembed oembed-video d-flex flex-column
