University of Houston-Clear Lake Police Department HURRICANE Storm Advisory & Preparation University Hotline: (281)

What is a Hurricane? A Hurricane is a tropical storm that rotates counterclockwise around an “eye”. A storm becomes a Hurricane when winds reach 74 mph. Hurricanes need warm tropical oceans, moisture and light winds above them – think Gulf of Mexico. The Hurricane season normally extends from June 1 to November 20 each year.

Hurricane Watches vs. Warnings Hurricane Watches are issued when there is a threat of Hurricane conditions set to strike an area within 36 hours. Hurricane Warnings are issued when there is a threat of Hurricane conditions set to strike an area within 24 hours.

Safety Procedures (during the Hurricane) Follow instructions of Public Safety, Police Officers, & Emergency Personnel Stay indoors until advised to exit Stay in interior hallways and keep doors closed Do not open windows or doors to see what is happening outside Beware of the “eye” of the storm. It is the center of the storm where the air may become calm for a period of time. When the “all clear” is given, exit your location with extreme care. Beware of electric wires, broken glass and falling or fallen debris. Do not enter structures, vehicles or areas that are damaged. Many people are killed after the storm by electrocution!
