Following last night's severe rains, Long Island experienced a flash flooding emergency
that brought about flooding and power loss across our campus. Damaged areas include
several residential halls, classrooms, offices, and other venues. Stony Brook University
Hospital and the Long Island State Veterans Home continue patient care uninterrupted
while our teams work around the clock to remedy the situation. We realize these circumstances
are bringing about unexpected stress at an already emotional time for students and
families. For that, I am so very sorry.
