Who is responsible for maintaining severe weather plans?
Each entity, school, department and/or unit is responsible for developing and maintaining a severe weather/emergency conditions plan based on Duke’s policy. As part of the departmental preparation, supervisors should review the severe weather policy including service category assignments with faculty and staff and ensure they understand how they will be notified of the activation and termination of the severe weather policy. In addition, each department is responsible for determining what support services it will provide staff assigned as essential service when the severe weather policy is activated. Support services can include child care, meal passes, sleeping arrangements, parking and transportation.
