Important: Work From Home for the Rest of Today

Due to sudden severe weather in the area, all employees currently onsite or scheduled to work onsite today should work from home for the remainder of the day.

Please leave the office when it is safe to do so. Follow local weather and travel guidance, and do not begin travel if conditions near you are unsafe. If you need to delay departure or adjust your schedule, coordinate directly with your manager.
