Florida A&M University is opening its Foster-Tanner Band
Rehearsal Hall to students who live off campus and need a storm shelter. The
university will begin accommodating them at the facility beginning today,
Saturday, September 9 at 2:00 p.m.
The off-campus students must bring their Rattler IDs and are being asked to bring their own blankets and pillows due to the fact that FAMU has a limited number of cots. Off-campus students are permitted to bring their children, however they will be responsible for their supervision.
FAMU will accommodate the dining needs of as many students
as it can.
The university will also use Gaither Gymnasium to house
possibly hundreds of U.S. Army soldiers who have been assigned to assist
Florida in recovering from Irma.
