If no closing or delay messages are given, yet you suspect your facility may close or delay opening--such as during periods of severe weather--please call the appropriate FaSt Check phone number or check this site again before you leave for work.

Individuals whose facilities remain open during severe weather or other emergency conditions are encouraged to consider their personal safety when making the decision to report to work in inclement weather. If you choose not to report to work or to report late, please notify your supervisor or manager of your decision, or follow your department's or facility's normal procedures for reporting absences.

Your safety is our
first priority.

If you are a contractor or vendor, please consult your employee sponsor for reporting details during emergency delays and closings.
