In the event of an emergency
Harvard Alert: The University will adjust operations for tomorrow, Monday, February 23. All non-essential employees should not report to campus and should work remotely if they can effectively do so. Essential employees should report to work as scheduled unless their supervisor or department leadership instructs otherwise.
Faculty, students, staff, academic personnel, and other members of the Harvard community should check their school communications channels for academic and school-specific schedule alterations.
We will continue to closely monitor the forecast, and should weather conditions warrant further change.
