As the temperature is forecast to drop this weekend, staff are reminded that in the event that serious adverse weather affects our normal operations, our procedures can be found in the Crisis Planning folder on the University Executive Group SharePoint site here: sharepoint.soton.ac.uk/sites/ueg_updates/default.aspx
In summary‚ the normal expectation is that the University campuses will remain open. If the weather is so severe that it is unsafe to continue activities‚ the Crisis Management Committee will make decisions to close on a campus by campus basis.
If this were to happen then information will be communicated to staff as quickly as possible through various channels – text messages, emails to all staff‚ notices on the University website‚ automated messages on the University switchboard (02380 595000), social media feeds and announcements on local radio.
Please ensure that your contact details, particularly your mobile phone number, are up-to-date in MyView so that we can communicate details to you as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
