To ensure the safety of our employees during this time of impending snowstorm warnings, we are issuing an Inclement Weather Announcements protocol to keep everyone informed.
In the event of Inclement Weather, the Administrative Manager or designated representative may determine a Two-Hour Late Start, Closure of Tribal Administration Offices or Early Release of Employees.
Once a decision is made, we will make every effort to inform employees immediately.
- Early dismissals will be announced immediately upon decision to close early.

- Two-Hour Late Start or Closure Announcements will be made by 7:00 a.m.
- Announcements will be sent via work email to all staff immediately.
- All Directors should have employee phone numbers on hand at all times to inform staff immediately if they do not have access to a computer or email.
