Please make sure your contact information is accurate and updated in Workday. That will be the primary resource your manager will use to check on your safety in the event of a storm or other emergency. If necessary, here are step-by-step instructions for accessing your data and making any necessary changes.
More information about hurricane preparedness and other valuable resources can be found on the Storm Center page on K Hub. Please check back here for updates or on the SOS Hotline (866-527-5260).
Hurricane Watch: A Hurricane Watch is issued when a tropical cyclone containing winds of 64 kt (74 mph) or higher poses a possible threat, generally within 48 hours. These winds may be accompanied by storm surge, coastal flooding, and/or river flooding.
The watch does not mean that hurricane conditions will occur. It only means that these conditions are possible.
Hurricane Warning: A Hurricane Warning is issued when sustained winds of 64 kt (74 mph) or higher associated with a tropical cyclone are expected in 36 hours or less. These winds may be accompanied by storm surge, coastal flooding, and/or river flooding. A hurricane warning can remain in effect when dangerously high water or a combination of dangerously high water and exceptionally high waves continue, even though winds may be less than hurricane force.
A Winter Weather Advisory will be issued for any amount of freezing rain, or when 2 to 4 inches of snow (alone or in combination with sleet and freezing rain), is expected to cause a significant inconvenience, but not serious enough to warrant a warning.
A Winter Storm Watch is issued when there is the potential for significant and hazardous winter weather within 48 hours. It does not mean that significant and hazardous winter weather will occur...it only means it is possible.
A Winter Storm Warning is issued when a significant combination of hazardous winter weather is occurring or imminent.
