Keeping BarryU Informed

The emergency preparedness page is a resource for the Barry University community with respect to hazards or emergency situations. All emergency alerts will be posted to this site as warranted. Additionally, you can access hazard analysis, hurricane preparedness information, and the lightning prediction system, which is updated in real time to alert the community of lightning hazards on Main Campus.  

In the event of a campus emergency or severe weather, Barry University uses a system of alerts that aim to ensure the health and safety of its students, faculty, and staff. The University's official communications will be made via:

• Social Media
• University internal and external websites
• SMS, Phone Recordings
• Email
• On-Campus Alerts

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to update their contact information to ensure they receive text, voice and email alerts.

Please visit this page often during active weather events or other emergency situations for updates on University operations.

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) provides financial support to higher education institutions. A portion of each institution’s allocation must be awarded to students in the form of emergency financial aid grants for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the COVID-19 crisis. The other portion must be used to defray institutional expenses associated with the virus.

HEERF required reporting is below.
