Lake-Sumter State College is actively monitoring Tropical Storm Helene moving toward Florida. The College is coordinating with state and local emergency management officials to prepare for the possibility of weather impacts.
At this time, no decision has been made regarding closing Lake-Sumter State College. We will provide regular updates through email, social media and LSSC.edu as we have additional information.
We encourage you to stay up to date with the weather forecasts by watching the local media or visiting weather.gov.
If a decision to close the College is made, an announcement will be made through the LSSC Alert system. All faculty, staff and students are automatically enrolled in this system. To update your notification preferences, please visit LSSC.edu/emergencyalerts for information on accessing your profile. Community members can sign up to receive alerts at the same location.
We also encourage you to sign up for emergency notifications from County Emergency Management officials. You can receive alerts from Lake County by signing up for AlertLake and from Sumter County by signing up for AlertSumter. If you live in another county, please visit Alert Florida to sign up for emergency alerts from your county.
We also recommend that you begin preparing and reviewing your own emergency plan; important tips are available at https://www.floridadisaster.org/planprepare/.
Stay safe and be prepared, Lakehawks!
