Emergency Storm Closings
In the rare case that the MBL has to delay or cancel work before 8:00 am due to weather conditions, the following radio stations will be notified by the MBL at approximately 5:30 am:
WCIB 101.9 FM WMVY 92.7 FM
We have no control over the actual announcement schedule, but expect the first announcements to be made at approximately 6:00 am. Lab closings or delays in opening will usually be based on the anticipated weather conditions for 8:00 am in Woods Hole and the condition of the MBL parking lots specifically. For information about MBL Operations Status, call (508) 289-7MBL.
Weather in your area may differ considerably. Therefore, on days when the MBL is open, but weather conditions are questionable, you must gauge your own safety risk based on these conditions. If you believe that conditions warrant no travel, you may exercise the MBL’s liberal leave policy. All employees are required to notify their supervisor or the Human Resources Office if they are unable to report for work on a storm day.
Under the liberal leave policy, employees unable to get to work safely may take leave without pay or a vacation day (if the employee has sufficient accrued vacation time). MBL personnel are expected to report to work if conditions allow. All “Essential Personnel Category 1: Winter Storm Conditions” are expected to report for snow removal and clean-up.
