Feel free to reach out with questions. Dawn [cid:image002.png@01DA0017.2D5B7FF0] Dawn Huston Deputy Administrator Delaware County Board of Commissioners a: 91 N. Sandusky St., Delaware, OH 43015 p: (740) 833-2122 e: mailto:dhuston@co.delaware.oh.us From: CORSA-broadcast [mailto:corsa-broadcast-bounces@corsa.org] On Behalf Of Randy Paul Sent: Friday, October 13, 2023 3:07 PM To: CORSA question (corsa-broadcast@corsa.org) <corsa-broadcast@corsa.org> Subject: [CORSA-broadcast] closings CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails How do counties handle closings for 1. Bad Weather-before work, during work? 2. When the building has no water or electricity? If the weather is level 3 before work, a commissioner calls me/clerk and I text/call all department heads/elected officials on my personal cell. Sometimes we are told to come in at mid-morning/a certain time to allow for roads to be cleared off. If the weather changes throughout the day and appears to be coming to a level 3. The Engineer or Sheriff will alert a Commissioner and we broadcast thru email a time to leave and go home as long as you can get there safely. If we have no water, our Maintenance makes sure each restroom has a bucket of water for employees to manage the toilet. (some employees will NOT do this-so others pitch in) Each office is expected to have a case of water bottles, hand sanitizer and a couple gallons of drinkable water on hand at all times. If the electric goes out, that is usually building by building. If over 2 hours and doesn't appear to be coming back on, then the elected official can make the decision to send employees home. Most times it is right back on around the 2 hr. time. If an employee is sent home due to any of these conditions, they are paid-available if needed. Our basic question is how do you contact employees (we are very rural) prior to work to let them know to not come to work, or come in at a certain time.
