Severe Weather Policy

Florida Coastal School of Law will close because of severe weather when normal operation would pose a danger to students and employees while on campus or while preventing students and employees from coming to campus or returning safely to their homes in the immediate surrounding area.

Emergency and Disaster Response Plan

Coastal Law is committed to the safety and well-being of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. In accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies that govern emergency preparedness and response, Coastal Law has established an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to address major emergencies that may threaten the health and safety of the Coastal Law community and/or its neighbors, affect Coastal Law facilities and resources, or disrupt Coastal Law operations. The purpose of this planning document is to set forth preparation procedures, designate responsibilities, and outline specific courses of action to be followed in response to a potential/actual disaster or emergency.
