In the event of a serious snowstorm, the Law School may be closed.
An example of a serious snowstorm is one that has caused the closing of
the Public Schools of the City of New York. In the event of a serious
snowstorm, the Law School administration will review the situation
early in the morning and make a decision on whether or not to close the
Law School. We will communicate this decision according to this Snow Emergency Plan.
The general policy is that the Law School is open unless the New
York Public Schools are closed. If we get some snow and the public
schools are open, assume the Law School is open unless you find a
message on one of the media below.
The Plan consists of four parts. The first and primary part of the
plan uses the Law School and University websites. The second part of
the plan uses our telephone message system. The third part consists of
giving local radio stations our closing information for broadcast. The
fourth part is a back-up plan, which consists of a calling chain to all
staff members. Each part of the plan is outlined below.
I. Law School and University Websites: A notice explaining the school's plans will be posted on the homepage of the Law School website. The same information will also be included on the CUNY website. It is our intention to have this information posted no later than 7:30 am on the days in question.
II. Telephone Call-In: An alert message will be placed on the school's automatic answering system, which can be accessed by dialing 718-340-4399. It is our intention to have a system bulletin up and running no later than 7:30 am on the days in question.
III. Radio Announcement: The Law School has made arrangements with a local radio station in New York that has agreed to carry our closing information:
WCBS 880 AM or WCBS-FM 101.1 FM or www.wcbs880.com
The University has also made arrangements with additional stations
and will have snow closing information regarding all of the CUNY
colleges, including the Law School. The stations reporting all CUNY
schools are:
IV. Personal Phone Call (Faculty and staff only): In the
event that the Law School is unable to implement parts I, II or III of
this plan, we will institute a school-wide telephone calling chain.
Department heads should set up a calling chain in their departments and
give the Personnel Office a copy of their calling list.
