Continuity Of Operations and Essential Personnel
The University of Toledo is committed to the campus community's safety and the continuation of essential operations during severe weather conditions and other emergencies.听 The 果冻传媒 Continuity of Operations Plan has been developed to assist the University in managing its operations in the event the president or designee declares a campus emergency or temporarily suspends University operations. 听The goals of the Continuity of Operations Plan are:
- Continue critical 果冻传媒 operations during a temporary interruption of University services.
- Ensure appropriate, timely and ongoing communication with all key stakeholders.
- Protect the health and safety of students, patients, faculty, staff and guests.
ESSENTIAL AREAS
果冻传媒 has identified the following areas as essential to maintaining continuous operations during a temporary suspension of services:
- Clinical Operations
- Public Safety and 果冻传媒 Police
- Information Technology
- Academic and Student Services
- Supply Chain Operations (for clinical operations听only)
- Facility Services
- Employee Payroll
- HRIS Services
ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES LIST AND ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS
Employees who work in the designated essential areas may be identified as essential personnel. As a result, they may be required to work when the Continuity of Operations Plan is activated.

Upon completion of the Essential Personnel Acknowledgement form the employee will receive 听an email with a pdf of said form as well as their Essential Personnel Restricted Travel .

COUNTY SNOW EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS, CONFLICTS
University of Toledo employees may live in a variety of surrounding counties.听When considering when to activate the Continuity of Operations Plan, the University president or designee may include Lucas County Snow Emergency declarations only (i.e., other surrounding county declarations will not be determining factors).听
In instances when counties other than Lucas County declare a Level 3 Snow Emergency, 果冻传媒 employees are expected to report to work as scheduled. Employee residents of counties other than Lucas County which declare a Level 3 Snow Emergency must notify their supervisor and seek direction as to the appropriate treatment of the absence should they choose not to report to work (e.g., use of available vacation time, if deemed an unexcused absence, etc.).
NOTIFICATION OF TEMPORARY SUSPENSION, CLASSES AND OPERATIONS
If severe weather or another type of emergency affects classes or University operations, the University will announce this information through the following channels:
- 果冻传媒 Alert text message and email - be sure your cell phone number is updated in Banner to receive these notices;
- Rave Guardian smart phone app - download free from your app store;
- Website - visit听 and utoledo.edu/weather for up-to-date (time-stamped) news;
- Social Media - 果冻传媒 on and ; and
- Local media outlets - TV and radio stations
For the safety of our students, faculty and staff, every effort is made to announce suspension of morning classes by 6 a.m., afternoon classes by 10 a.m. and evening classes by 3 p.m. This gives the University flexibility should conditions improve throughout the day.
