严冬天气
The following explains how bet365中文大学 administration makes the decision to work and study remotely due to weather, and w在这里 you can get that information in an expedient way.
Please note that even if bet365中文大学 decides to maintain business as usual, University students as well as employees are expected to take personal responsibility for their own safety. If conditions make it unsafe for you to travel to Andrews, please remain w在这里 you are safe and make alternate arrangements with your teachers for any classwork that may be missed or contact your supervisors for alternate work arrangements.
决策过程
交通运输办公室, Arboretum/Grounds and 校园安全 consult each other regarding the weather conditions and access to campus. Transportation is responsible for the parking lots and campus roads while Arboretum/Grounds is responsible for sidewalks and building entrances. 视天气情况而定, 校园安全 may also send a vehicle out to personally check the main roads coming into Berrien Springs. 另外, 校园安全 monitors local emergency radio traffic for weather and road conditions off-campus.
Campus operations are likely to proceed like any other work/school day if:
- 天气状况合理
- 社区道路可以导航
- The University can effectively maintain campus roads, sidewalks and building entrances
然而, if these conditions are not met or other safety concerns arise, the assistant vice-president of the 校园安全办公室 contacts University Administration's officer- in-charge with recommendations regarding remote learning and work for that day. Administration's officer-in-charge makes the final decision on remote learning/work. The 校园安全办公室 and the 办公室 University Communication then distribute remote learning/work information via 非盟警报, 校园天气热线(269-471-7660), 大学网站, 大学的社交媒体以及当地的电视和广播电台.
Please note that University decisions will not always coincide with the local K–12 school systems who assess risk for a different age group and for indiviudals who may be using a school bus for transportation.
决定时间
The University will review weather conditions and make in-person determiniations typically either by 9 p.m. 前一天或6点之前.m. 的早晨. The University may make additional decisions outside of these times to respond to any newly identified concerns.

户外安全
When the weather is extremely cold, and especially if t在这里 are high winds, try to stay indoors. 外出旅行尽量简短, and remember these tips to protect your health and safety:
穿着暖和，保持干燥
成人及儿童应穿戴:
- 一顶帽子
- 围巾遮盖脸和嘴的围巾或编织面具
- 袖子在手腕处很紧
- 连指手套(比普通手套暖和)
- 防水外套和靴子
- 几层宽松的衣服
- 确保你衣服的外层织得很紧, 最好是抗风的, 减少因风引起的身体热量损失. Wool, silk or polypropylene inner layers of clothing will hold more body heat than cotton. 保持干燥. 潮湿的衣服使身体迅速变冷. 过多的出汗会增加热量的散失, so remove extra layers of clothing whenever you feel too warm. 也, avoid getting gasoline or alcohol on your skin while de-icing and fueling your car or using a snow blower. These materials in contact with the skin greatly increase heat loss from the body. 不要忽视颤抖. 这是身体正在失去热量的一个重要的第一个信号. 持续的颤抖是回到室内的信号.
