Month Five- What’s Your Game Plan?

Strengthening Pack Preparedness, One Partnership at a Time

 Emergency Management and Mission Continuity welcomes you to the 2019 – 2020 Year of Partnerships!

Our Partnership

Emergency Management and Mission Continuity + NC State Athletics + Student Wolfpack Club

The Year of Partnerships is meant to bring together a campus unit, a student organization, and Emergency Management & Mission Continuity.  What exactly is the Year of Partnership? Emergency Management and Mission Continuity works with units across all parts of campus (and beyond to counties, research stations and more).  We hear ideas on topics that interest you – the planners and coordinators at the unit level. We invite our campus partners to share our monthly messaging to different audiences in order to get the word out about programs and shared resources that benefits everyone!

 

Be Pack Ready. Every day is game day!

Don’t Get Stuck Out in the Rain!

  • Come prepared. Grab a hat and your sunglasses!
  • Check the forecast and radar before a game. NC State  has a number of resources for weather:
  • Consider a coat for cold weather, an umbrella for the rain, and wear appropriate shoes
  • Sign-up for game day text messages by texting GOPACK to 67283

Securing the Student Section

  • During the game, make sure to always carry your personal belongings with you at all times.
    • It is important to keep your phone, Student ID, and keys on your person even while cheering on the Wolfpack!
    • Don’t be that person that loses their keys at a sporting event and can’t get home, be prepared and keep your belongings close.
  • Dress warmly for cold weather and be prepared for rain on the forecast
  • You can line up 60 minutes before for any non-ACC game and 90 minutes before for any ACC game

Game Day Guide
