As San Antonio prepares for the arctic cold front scheduled to hit the state on Sunday night, UTSA is readying its response plans to ensure that students, faculty and staff know where to turn for information on campus operations.
UTSA will share all weather-related announcements, changes to business operations and instructional activities, including delayed start times or the suspension of in-person classes, meetings and programming on campus, on its official (@UTSA) Instagram, Facebook and X (Twitter) channels. The information will also be shared on UTSA Today.
In the event of campus impact, UTSA will activate the UTSA Alerts Emergency Notification System, which is an enhanced emergency telephone, text and email notification system for the university community. Alerts will include important operational information and recommended actions. UTSA tests the alert system every month to ensure peak performance.
Local media outlets will also be informed of UTSA’s operational changes.
Students, faculty and staff who want to sign up for the UTSA Alert System should log in to their MyUTSA Account and select “UTSA Alerts” on the “Personal Information” card. (When in the Classic View for myUTSA, students and employees will find the sign-up link in the “Personal Information” tab at the top of the page.) The sign-up site allows users to update their contact information and customize their notification settings.
The UTSA Office of Risk & Emergency Management has also set up a Winter Weather Preparedness website, which provides helpful safety information to help Roadrunners protect themselves, their families and their homes.
The current forecast calls for two separate cold fronts to pass through San Antonio this weekend and next week. A prolonged period of freezing temperatures will arrive Sunday evening and last through Wednesday morning. High temperatures in the upper 20s and 30s are expected on Monday. Low temperatures will hit the teens on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
Should the need arise for the university to modify its campus operations due to extreme temperatures or power disruptions, a warming station will be opened at the H-E-B Student Union to accommodate students, faculty and staff in need of assistance.
At the same time, UTSA is prepared to support students living on campus with continued meal service and back-up generators, should electricity fail. Students with questions should reach out to their Resident Assistants.
In cases of winter weather, staff supervisors are encouraged to implement remote operations when feasible.
Since students and employees come to campus from different parts of the region, UTSA encourages all Roadrunners to exercise judgment regarding their ability to travel safely in the event of inclement weather.
UTSA reminds everyone to stay “winter wise” over the coming days. Dress in layers when outside and avoid prolonged exposure to the wind and cold and monitor local news to track weather conditions. More information can be found at the following sites:
UTSA will continue to monitor conditions and provide additional information on campus operations as needed. Additionally, UTSA is in close communication with CPS Energy, the City of San Antonio and Bexar County.
