From the Deputy |
In preparation for the landfall of Cyclone Alfred, the College is currently only open to Residents and Staff until at least 7.00am, Monday 10th March or when otherwise communicated.
Thank you to all Residents and Staff who have dedicated the last 48 hours to preparing the campus. For the 258 Residents who have chosen to stay on campus, King’s College remains a safe place during this weather event. We appreciate everyone’s efforts in ensuring our safety.
This morning, our Student Leaders met with me at 8:30 am, and the whole College gathered for a briefing at 9:00 am. Our College Executive Team is in close communication with the Critical Incident Management Team (CIMT) at UQ to ensure that we remain responsive to the weather event, always prioritising the health and safety of our Residents and Staff.
A few reminders for Residents:
In the event of damage to rooms, emergency bedding has been prepared in the Chapel and Junior Common Room.
While the latest forecast suggests the cyclone will impact us on Friday afternoon, it's important to remember that Cyclone Alfred’s path could change at any time. Therefore, we have a range of contingencies in place to ensure we remain well-prepared for the coming days and well into next week.
Please stay calm and take care of each other. I also encourage you to stay informed through the following resources:
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates via email and King’s Connect as new information becomes available.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your Residential Leader or me directly.
Stay safe and take care.
