A sign of our times – precautions at UW Medicine

Thanks to Ann M. — To the UW Medicine Community: As we prepare for elections tomorrow, we want to remind you to stay aware and make plans in case we experience any post-election disruptions. While we do not currently have any actionable intelligence about specific planned disruptions, we are working closely with our local and federal law enforcement partners to assist our planning.

We also want to share some reminders for precautions that you can take: Plan for delays and traffic disruptions by allowing extra time for your commute to and from work. Carry your UW Medicine badge and workplace identification with you for access to our hospitals and clinics. Be prepared to stay at work past your scheduled hours, if necessary. Maintain awareness of your surroundings and be alert for demonstrations as you enter your workplace. To receive official information via text messages, please register for UW Medicine STAT INFO ADVISORY: http://depts.washington.edu/statinfo/

Your site security director will provide updates as new information becomes available.

Thank you for your support of our emergency preparedness plans. Sincerely,

UW Medicine Emergency Operations Center
