New information number to be used for severe weather, other emergencies
The chill in the air means it’s time to become familiar with the University’s inclement weather and suspended operations policies and the new numbers to call for the latest information on possible disruption of operations.
While the most common reason for the disruption of UW operations is weather related, other emergency situations or outages could trigger a suspension of non-essential operations.
On Nov.1, new campus information numbers took effect that provide up-to-the-minute information about operations at the three UW campuses during emergencies or severe weather conditions. The new numbers are: 206-UWS-INFO
(206-897-4636) and toll-free 1-866-897-4636.
These numbers and the University’s policies on inclement weather and suspended operations are located on the Human Resources Web site.

Questions about inclement weather and suspended operations policies may be referred to the Human Resources Office that serves each department. To find your Human Resources contact, go to: http://www.washington.edu/admin/hr/contacts/.
