Press release from UNC Asheville:
Since Friday, September 27, UNC Asheville has cared for all students who remained on campus during Tropical Storm Helene. Students have received food and access to potable drinking water.
In advance of the storm, UNC Asheville prepared for the emergency by bringing in non-perishable food items, bottled water, and portable restrooms for campus use; however, those resources are diminishing.
At this time, the University is prioritizing the safe relocation of any students remaining on campus. Arrangements are being made to safely transport all students.
UNC Asheville remains at Condition 3 (Closure) and is currently operating without electricity, running water, cell service, or internet. The University will be closed until at least Monday, October 7. Classes are suspended until at least Wednesday, October 9.
The safety and wellbeing of our students is our top priority. Mental health support for students and employees is available. Resources have been shared with the campus community through Bulldog Alert.
With tremendous gratitude, the University is collaborating with local, state, federal, and UNC System partners to support our students and employees. We also thank the community for their continued concern and support.
Please continue to monitor Bulldog Alert at bulldogalert.unca.edu for the most up-to-date information regarding UNC Asheville.
