In addition to notifications of current weather cancellations, campus incidents or other emergency conditions, this web page also provides information on how to access “Eastern Alert,” the University’s emergency notification system. Resources ranging from on-campus departments to off-campus municipal services are also referenced.
Parking: Faculty, staff and students must move their vehicles from all surface lots to the two parking garages during snowstorms. Failure to move vehicles from these areas may result in towing.
In the event of a delayed opening of the University, any class that would have at least 45 minutes of meeting time remaining after the announced opening time will meet starting at the announced opening time. Any class meeting that would have fewer than 45 minutes of meeting time after the announced opening time will not meet. For example, if opening the campus is delayed until 10 a.m., classes running from 9:30-10:45 a.m. would meet from 10-10:45 a.m.
In the event of an early closing of the University, any class that would have at least 45 minutes of meeting time prior to the announced closing time will meet until the announced closing time.
Any class meeting that would have fewer than 45 minutes of meeting time before the announced closing time will not meet. For example, if we were to close the University early at 3 p.m., classes running from 2-3:15 p.m. would meet from 2-3 p.m.”

These employees should not plan to work remotely under those circumstances.https://easternct.makekb.com/entry/460/
