Hello!
As we come face to face with hurricane Floyd, we have been informed that the VA, MD and DC areas are under
a state of emergency. Please check with your managers on the policy of coming in during extreme weather
conditions.
As far as the building is concerned, please be aware that Virginia Power is expecting power loss. The dur
ation is anticipated to be long, however, at this time they are not 100% sure. We suggest that you power
down all machines safely or take action to be certain pertinent machines are on UPS. If we do lose powe
r for an extended amount of time the building WILL be evacuated due to the loss of the fire, life safety s
ystems (fire alarm). Also, windows could leak and so could the roof. Please report any water problems to
the facilities@uu.net alias and be sure to include the building address in your subject header. We will
do our best to control the leak however, as you know, corrective action to resolve leaks cannot occur unt
il the storm is over.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Thanks and BE SAFE!
Ermm...talk about cheerful.
