Severe Weather
In the event of severe weather, residents should go to the elevator landing on the 2nd floor of Brumby Hall. Staff will direct residents from there. If the 2nd floor fills up, residents will have to go to the 3rd floor, and so on. Do not remain in your room. It is important that you get away from windows. The elevator landing is the safest place you can be.

Temperature Control
Brumby’s heating and cooling system is a zonal system. This means that the temperature is controlled at one temperature throughout the whole building, not individual rooms. Residents do have some control over the level of heat or cool air by adjusting the knob on your heating/ac unit. If you experience problems with the temperature of your room, please turn in a work order by calling 706-542-3999, or by visiting:
