We have just finished the final preparation for hurricane Rita and are confident that the College is well protected and ready for this storm. We owe this confidence in very large part to the faculty, staff and trainees who vacated the College gracefully and on time and did an outstanding job of preparing their labs and offices. The Emergency Operations Team visited every lab and office on the main campus to assure that the emergency power was used properly and that dangerous chemicals were contained. We found only a few problems that were easy to correct.
In order to assure constant protection of the College during and after the landfall of Hurricane Rita, we have approximately 100 people on site, from Facilities, Comparative Medicine, Research, Environmental Safety, Information Technology and Security to assure the continued protection of the College.
As we look to the next few days which may bring some difficulties, I want to thank you for your help and cooperation. It makes a remarkable difference in our ability to respond to these sorts of emergencies.
I hope you and your families are safe and I look forward to seeing you once we have accomplished our recovery process.
Peter G. Traber, M.D.
