3. Inclement Weather Policy – With the Winter weather well underway, the team wants to take this opportunity to remind our membership of the PAC's operating procedures during inclement weather. The PAC is committed to providing the highest-level of customer service and satisfaction without compromising the safety of our members and employees. During severe weather conditions, natural disasters, emergencies and other incidents which may cause disruptions of operations at the Pentagon and its annexes at the Taylor building and the Mark Center, the PAC's operating procedure is to comply with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) guidance on dismissal and closure procedures.

• If OPM announces that the Federal Government is closed, the PAC will be closed.
• If OPM announces a delayed opening, the PAC will open at 0800 to ensure that the staff are not on the roads while cleanup is taking place.
• If OPM announces that the Federal Government is open, with unscheduled leave authorized for employees, the PAC management will make a determination on whether the facilities will be open, closed, or have a delayed open.
• When the PAC is operating under any of the above conditions, the facilities website, Facebook page will be updated as soon as possible to reflect the current operating status.
