With heavy rains and some unexpected flooding in the JSC vicinity, we’d like to take a minute to review options if you can’t get to JSC due to weather and provide helpful links for weather-related information.

As always, assess your own situation in the area where you live. If you cannot drive safely into work, please use one of the alternatives available – telework/work from home, dial-in teleconferences, annual leave, etc.  Check in with your supervisor and discuss whether you are able to telework or not given your specific conditions. Contractor employees should coordinate with their companies regarding their leave policies.

For employees planning travel: it may be difficult getting into and out of Houston and this may impact the timeliness and/or availability of flights in other locations.  Please check with your travel arranger or CI Travel for updates.

Again please be careful when driving to and from work. Use caution when driving onto site, especially when near construction zones and low spots where water is known to accumulate. You can always check the JSCSOS website for Center status.  Check road conditions on your route before you leave home. Do not drive into standing water. Above all, be safe!
