Safety

• Develop an Emergency Plan and maintain an Emergency Kit (“Go-Kit”).
• If you are traveling, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
• Remember that roads, parking areas, and walkways can never be completely cleared of slick spots. Watch out for slips, trips, and falls when walking or entering and exiting your vehicle. Walk slowly, checking for icy spots. The safest path in bad weather may not be your routine path, so allow extra time for driving and walking. Snow crews focus on the two central walks from South Garage into the buildings so staff can get under cover in the shortest distance. 
• Don’t forget your winter weather attire: boots, gloves, and a hat. Dressing in layers will also help retain heat.
• Plan ahead and add extra time for safe travel. View road conditions from the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Virginia 511 site and mobile app.

If conditions change, we will update this information. Some off-site locations may have different schedules; contact your manager for instructions.
