Dear Adelphi Community,
Winter break runs Monday, December 23, 2024, through Wednesday, January 1, 2025 and winter intersession runs January 2, 2025, through January 22, 2025. (See the University’s academic calendar).
If you will be traveling during this time, the Department of Public Safety and Transportation encourages you to think about safety and prepare for the unexpected. Below, we share some helpful and informative tips to help keep you safe.
Safety Tips
Extreme cold weather can cause serious threats to health and safety. See our Safety Tips Website for information about preparedness and awareness in the areas of travel, gift giving for children, shopping, home and cyber fraud. The National Safety Council Winter Safety Tips is another useful resource.
Winter Driving Preparedness
While it is important to stay off the roads during dangerous winter weather, having an emergency supply kit will ensure you are prepared in case you must venture out or if winter weather changes for the worse.
An emergency supply kit should include basic supplies, including water, non-perishable snacks, a first aid kit, a cell phone charger, a flashlight, blankets and other items to keep you warm (boots, mittens, warm clothing, etc.). You might wish to also include jumper cables, flares, shovel/ice scraper, etc. For more information, view the National Safety Council Winter Driving Tips.
It is always best to be prepared and have nothing happen than for something to happen when you are unprepared.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to call the Public Safety Command Center at 516.877.3511.
Have a happy and healthy Winter Intersession!
