This is your one-stop shop for Little Rock District's inclement weather information. When inclement weather hits the Little Rock District area, here's what you should do:
* If a decision is made to delay opening or close due to inclement weather, Federal employees can call (501) 301-3111 to check the open/close status during inclement weather. This number should be able to handle the large volume of calls without a busy signal.
Employees should be aware that local television and radio stations’ announcements are not always complete. It is up to employees to verify media announcements through their chain of command or through other means described in this section.
* Remember, a liberal leave policy is in effect during inclement weather. If the decision is made to operate as usual, use common sense in determining whether you can safely make it in to the office.
* The district field offices each have their own procedure and authority to deal with inclement weather.
* As a public service agency, we will do everything possible to remain open for business while allowing employees the flexibility to be safe or prudent.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CHANGE IN THE POLICY:
In the case of “early dismissal” an announcement will be made using the intercom system in the Federal Building. Those agencies outside the Federal Building will be required to monitor the decision by calling (501) 301-3111 to determine the status of Federal agencies impacted by this policy. Agencies will not be contacted individually to report the determination regarding any decision made by the Weather Watch Committee.
