If an emergency or building closure occurs at UCAR/NCAR, updates will be provided by Safety and Site Services as they become available:

Telephone Hotline

303-497-1100 (or ext. 1100)

All emergency information will be recorded to the hotline phone number and updated as the situation warrants.

When appropriate, emergency information will also be distributed directly to all staff via voice- and e-mail.

Due to Inclement Weather

UCAR makes every attempt to stay open. However, when conditions warrant, facilities may go on delayed opening or may be closed altogether. Closures or delayed openings are communicated via the telephone hotline for staff (see above) by 6:00 a.m. whenever feasible. Closings during the work day will be communicated as soon as they are made.

Radio announcements

UCAR also notifies Clear Channel Communications of closures due to weather for broadcast via their radio stations. Please consult the Clear Channel Web site for a listing of these stations.
