TO:  Shutdown Group, All Facility Coordinators

FROM:  Service Response Center

SUBJECT: Cold Weather – Help Protect Your Spaces – CLOSE ALL WINDOWS

Tonight's weather is expected to reach 17 degrees.  With the temperatures fluctuating this week between the 50's, 30's, teens and single digits, this places us in a higher risk category for open windows, leading to freezing pipes.  

Please help FMS protect your spaces by closing and locking ALL windows.  We ask that particular attention be made to open windows in buildings such as Resnick, West Wing, CFA, TCS, Mellon Institute, MMCH, Doherty, Hamerschlag, HOA and Baker/Porter.


If you see or notice anything of concern, please contact the FMCS Service Response Center at 412-268-2910.  Thanks for your partnership as we navigate the winter weather.
