Snow Call

Mission Essential Personnel
Commanders and supervisors must ensure their personnel have no doubt about when to report or remain on duty. For purposes of reporting during hazardous weather, commanders will designate personnel as either Mission Essential or Non-Mission Essential:

Mission Essential Personnel are the minimum number required to keep critical activities functioning until additional support arrives. These personnel include, but are not limited to firefighters, security forces, command and control, snow removal, medical, dining facility, designated childcare, and designated shiftwork personnel. Commanders and supervisors must identify positions they determine to be essential for mission-critical operations, depending on the type and duration of activity requiring support, and ensure the appropriate personnel are notified to report for duty. Mission Essential Personnel should anticipate travel and parking in road.
Condition Yellow and/or Red and exercise extreme caution when operating a motor vehicle. The Child Development Center (CDC) and School Age Care (SAC) will open at 6:30 a.m. for Mission Essential Personnel along with dormitory Airmen/Guardians. All other personnel may be accepted for care at 9:30 a.m. or a time specified by the SBD 1/CC.

Teleworkers
Employees with an approved telework agreement (i.e. "telework-ready employees") who are able to safely travel to and work at an approved telework site cannot be granted Weather and Safety Leave (WSL). Teleworkers with questions should clarify expectations with their supervisor.
