On my way into work I heard a news report regarding the weather forecast for this winter. I was hoping to hear that the Chicagoland area is expecting a mild winter with warm, sunny days...but that did not happen. Instead, the new reporter indicated that all meteorology reports indicate a very snowy winter this year - over 55inches of snowfall anticipated. The basis of the report was to inform the public that area officials have been meeting with internal and external agencies to ensure that everyone is prepared for inclement weather when it hits.
While none of us can be certain of Illinois weather, we can all do are part to make sure we are prepared for whatever comes our way. Here are some tips to ensure that you are in the "loop" in case of emergency weather delays or closings.
1. Participate in the College emergency notification system to receive e-mail, text and voice messages alerting you to campus closures, delays and emergency situations.
2. Check with the "Know Before You Go" website.
3. Update your contact information with you supervisor. Each area has an emergency phone tree that is utilized during emergency closing or delays. Double check your information with your supervisor to ensure that you will be contacted in case of closure.
**No system is 100% successful - by using ALL THREE methods of notification you can save yourself time and frustration in the event of an emergency closing or delay.**
Finally, I am pleased to share that as of this post there are only
111 days, 7 Hours, 9 mins, and 33 secs until spring!
Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine!
Debbie
