Friday, February 8, 2019
INCLEMENT WEATHER
A reminder that during inclement weather conditions the campus community should either listen to KVOE AM radio station (1400) or Kansas Public Radio; or watch KWCH , WIBW, KSNT or KTKA television stations; or access the home page for the University ( www.emporia.edu ) for a possible closing of the University due to inclement weather. There will be a notification sent only if there is a closing to be announced and the University's Text/Email Emergency Notification System will be activated (for those who have this service). There will be no notification if the University is to remain open.
The prediction for the weekend and Monday is for a slight chance for Sunday morning and good chance for Monday of rain and freezing rain (when the temperature is below freezing) throughout the day. The temperature on Monday will go above freezing by midmorning and reach a high in the mid 40's. So the risk is early in the morning when you are arriving for work or heading to early classes. The crews will out pre-treating roads, parking lots and sidewalks. Crews will be in early Monday to treat these surfaces. Please be aware that surfaces may be icy and slick. Please keep on treated surfaces, pay attention and take care.
During the weather event, also be aware that crews from the Academic, Residential and Memorial Union facilities will be working and treating around their respective buildings and entrances. Please report any trouble areas to the University Facilities Office (5331) or to Police and Safety (5337). You can view Snow Removal Maps indicating the priority and stages of work at http://www.emporia.edu/alerts/documents/campus_snow_removal_map.pdf. Even with cleared walks and entrances, everyone should take extreme care due to continual thawing and freezing cycles occurring during and after each event. Persons with mobility restrictions should take extreme precautions and request assistance (call Facilities @ 341-5331) if needed or arrange with their departments to remain at home. Everyone should take extra time and be extra careful during and after the weather event.
Thank you.

Merchant Street Utility Project
The underground utility work is progressing to the south along Merchant Street and now is being staged along the parking lots west of Cremer Hall, Science Hall and WAW Library. This will cause some disruption to some parking spaces along the west side of these lots while they bore underground. The contractor will be coning off some parking spaces to allow for equipment to be located near the bore paths. This will change day to day. Please keep out of these coned off spaces and be aware of construction equipment, vehicles and workers. Hopefully they will be through this area in the next week or two and parking will return to normal. We appreciate your cooperation and patience.
Thanks.
Thanks.
