Be sure to fully charge cell phones, laptops, battery packs, and other devices. In the case of an outage, remember that no candles are permitted in university buildings, including residence halls.<\/li>\n<li>Plan to stay in your home\/residence hall and off roads during peak storm conditions.<\/li>\n<li>If we experience high winds, be mindful of your surroundings. Trees could weaken or fall and power lines could be downed.<\/li>\n<li>If you have an emergency on campus, contact University Police at 508-793-7575.<\/li>\n<li>If students have any questions or concerns, please email <a href=\"mailto:DOS@clarku.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Email the Dean of Students office\">DOS@clarku.edu<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Be responsive to alerts from the university.
