Annoucement: HURRICANE OLIVIA (9/12/18)

Aloha Student Housing Residents,

 

We wanted to provide you with an update regarding preparations for the potential impacts of Tropical Storm Olivia (the latest forecast can be found at http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/.) Currently Olivia is forecast to bring tropical storm force winds and rain to O‘ahu beginning this morning into the evening.

 

UH Mānoa is open today and classes will be held as scheduled.  If anything should change, we will send out an update. Please read the following updates and reminders carefully.

 

  • Unless it is necessary to go outside, it is highly recommended that residents stay indoors during the storm.  We ask that you continue to remain vigilant and aware of the current conditions.

 

  • University, federal, state, and county officials will monitor the storm as it progresses.  Should there be a need to relocate within the building to a safer place of refuge, hall staff will communicate this and provide direction.

 

  • Hale Aloha Café, Gateway Café, the Market at Noelani, and all community desks and the Student Housing Services office will remain open as regularly scheduled today.  We will update you if it becomes necessary to alter the hours of operation.

 

  • Residents are reminded to make sure they have a 3-day supply of food and water on hand.  

 

  • With the possibility of power outages, If you have medication that needs refrigeration, please go to the Gateway Café during meal hours with your student ID and room key, and a container/cooler.  A single gel pack will be issued for your use. You can swap out for another gel pack at the next meal time.

  • Cable TV Service (6/23/2016)

As a result of student feedback and analysis of data usage, Student Housing is no longer providing cable television service to our residents. Our current focus is to upgrade the network connectivity within our residential community by increasing the available bandwidth to all residents.

While we are certain that this change will benefit the majority of our residents, we understand that some residents will be disappointed. Our ResNet support team may be able to assist you with alternative suggestions to watch your favorite programming. They may be contacted by calling 956-6800.
