Albany State University and all satellite campuses will remain closed on Tuesday, September 12.

Per the Dougherty County EMA, Irma will impact Dougherty County as a hurricane. The specific intensity is still unknown. We can expect to, potentially, see up to 20" of rain in isolated locations. This storm is not anticipated to spawn any tornadoes in our area. Wind hazards are the most dangerous part of the system. Expect lots of trees to be downed and for there to be widespread, prolonged power outages.

All students remaining the residence halls are asked to Shelter in Place while the storm is coming through the area and take the following steps:

1. Plan for food and or dining.
