Duty Station

This page provides updated information for DSHS employees about the operational status of offices and facilities during inclement weather events and other emergencies. The page is maintained by representatives from each administration. DSHS programs co-located in the same building follow the operational decisions of the administration with the largest programmatic footprint to ensure a consistent response for all employees at the worksite. This may involve delayed opening times due to inclement weather events and/ or other messaging related to closures due to extended power outages, flooding, etc… Please refer to Administrative Policy 9.16 Emergency Closures, Delayed Openings, and Suspension of Operations for more information. This policy also identifies the requirements and general process for suspension of operations for any DSHS mission essential function.

For guidance regarding employees taking leave, refer to DSHS Administrative Policy 18.31 Holidays and Leave. Please contact DSHS Office of Emergency Management if you have feedback to share about this page.

The DSHS Employee Emergency Information Line (1-866-374-7367) is another resource for employees to stay informed of their duty station.
