Office Closure Extended Through [Day/Date] Due to Severe Weather

We are extending the current office closure for a second day due to continued severe weather in the area. The office will remain closed through [Day/Date], and employees should not travel to the office unless specifically directed by leadership or emergency response personnel.

We know this affects schedules, team coverage, and individual plans. We are sharing this decision now so employees and managers have time to adjust safely and thoughtfully.

Why we are making this decision

Leadership reviewed the latest weather conditions, local advisories, facility access, commute safety, and overall employee wellbeing. Based on the information available, travel remains unsafe or unpredictable for many employees, and keeping the office closed is the most responsible course of action at this time.

We will continue to monitor conditions closely and will reopen only when we can do so safely and with clear guidance for employees who need to be onsite.

What employees should do next

Please follow these next steps for [Day/Date]:

• If you can work remotely, please continue to do so during normal working hours unless your manager provides different instructions. • If your role requires onsite access, please wait for manager-specific direction before attempting to travel to the office. • Managers will confirm team coverage, essential business needs, and any schedule adjustments. • Continue monitoring email, chat, and emergency notification channels for updates. • Do not travel to the office while the closure is in effect unless you have been specifically instructed to do so.

Safety comes first

Please prioritize your personal safety and the safety of your family. Follow local guidance, avoid unnecessary travel, and use judgment if conditions near you change quickly.

We will share another update by [time] on [date], or sooner if conditions or operational plans change. Thank you for your flexibility, patience, and steady support as we navigate this weather event together.
