OPM Dismissal Procedures

New Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Dismissal Procedures for incidents within the Washington, D.C. area are posted.  

These procedures are broad in nature with much of the decision-making being left to individual agency management, and the employee on decisions for early dismissals to decrease the number commuter traffic issues in a major incident that effects federal government, city, and community operations.

The shelter-in-place (SIP) guidelines should be of particular importance for individuals that would rather ride out the storm in a safe and secure location. 

For individuals with children these procedures become even more complex for custodial, and non-custodial parents. 

In any case remember safety is the key factor.
