So that we can all be prepared, this would be a good time to review UMBC’s Inclement Weather Policy which is posted at www.umbc.edu/facultystaff/snowpolicy.html.

During inclement weather events, you will find up-to-date information posted on the UMBC homepage and myUMBC. Please note that there is a new campus hotline phone number – 410-455-6789 or ext. 5-6789 from on campus – which will be updated as situations change during such events as well.

I also encourage you to sign up for E2Campus, an emergency alert text-messaging system that will permit the University to notify you regarding any campus-related emergency (such as potential campus safety hazards or campus closures due to weather). The system is compatible with mobile phones, Blackberries, “smart phones,” satellite phones, e-mail, wireless PDAs and pagers. Normal text-messaging rates apply. There are no additional charges. Please sign up for this important service today at http://my.umbc.edu/notifications.

Thank you.
