SUBJECT: Freezing Temps – Help Protect Your Spaces

Freezing temperatures will settle into the area overnight tonight and throughout this weekend, leading to even colder temps (teens) later into next week.  We need your help as you head out for winter break.  Protect your spaces with the following three mandatory actions:

1.      Check your department’s occupied and unoccupied areas for cold spots. Open doors where possible to allow warm air to circulate.

2.      Close and lock ALL windows.

3.      Turn the thermostats ON and check for heat.

Many freezing incidents that happen during a drop in temperature are preventable.  Thank you for your assistance in keeping these areas safe. 

If you see any untreated areas or notice anything of concern, please contact FMCS at 412-268-2910.  Additional staff will be on site overnight and into the weekend to assist with any requests.
