BuckyHermit Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Tomorrow (Friday, Dec. 12) is expected to bring the first snow to Burnaby Mountain. It going to be a long day at SFU tomorrow. Yay! I'm definitely heading up there for some snow pic then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Those who get stranded can always hang out with me. This is why I got to UBC. No matter how much snow there is, there's always at least one way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trek Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 At least they are trying to be proactive this time around: The following is an official announcement from the University: The latest weather forecast is for rain and snow as early as mid-morning tomorrow (Friday December 12), accompanied and followed by a blanket of Arctic air and freezing temperatures atop Burnaby Mountain. As classes have ended for the term, class cancellation will not be an issue. However, should exams be disrupted, the University Registrar will advise faculty and students of rescheduling plans. Typically, cancelled exams will be rescheduled on the first day after the end of the exam schedule, which is December 16. At SFU we have been busy preparing for and anticipating severe weather. To address recommendations received from faculty, staff and students, various initiatives have been undertaken: - We have revised the severe weather plan to implement a standby phase; this will expedite the response once a decision to cancel classes is made. - Gates have been installed at parking lots to manage a controlled release of traffic and expedite a safer drive off campus. Staff at the gates will indicate safe routes. - Bus routes have been reviewed and options for re-routing buses have been identified. The goal will be to keep public transit moving by avoiding the problem routes. - The web cam at the Gaglardi intersection is now accessible for public viewing. (See below.) - Emergency volunteers have been equipped with radios to access up-to-date information. They will set up a reception in the ASSC1 Atrium and circulate where students congregate to provide information on road conditions, food services, first aid and if necessary, availability of overnight shelter. - The Emergency Operation Centre will be activated upon class cancellation to coordinate response activities and communication. - The SFU.ca home page (http://www.sfu.ca) will be updated at least hourly to provide status updates. With your assistance and cooperation we are optimistic that these initiatives can mitigate some of the frustration experienced during previous storms. To assist: - Register for SFU Alerts to receive class cancellation announcements. See http://www.sfu.ca/sfualerts/ - If at all possible delay your commute until conditions improve. - If you drive, your vehicle should be winterized. - If you have not winterized your vehicle, you are encouraged to leave it parked and take public transit or arrange a ride with a colleague. - Check the web cams at http://www.ots.sfu.ca/ots/webcams/ - If you have an urgent need to leave, get to the parking lot as soon as possible. Cars will be released in batches of 15, in rotation from each lot and directed to the safest route. This is similar to systems utilized on the Sea to Sky highway and the Coquihalla. It should be anticipated that the commute off the hill may be delayed, but should be safer than what we have experienced in the past. - Check for updates at http://www.sfu.ca (bottom right, under ³Notices²) and the Road Conditions site http://www.sfu.ca/security/sfuroadconditions/ - For answers to frequently asked questions check http://www.ehs.sfu.ca/emergency/details/faqs1/ - For more information on severe weather preparedness http://www.ehs.sfu.ca/emergency/categories/C183/ http://www.sfu.ca/pamr/snow/ If you have additional questions you can call Environmental Health and Safety at 778-782-4978 or Email Cifarell@sfu.ca. ------- Public Affairs and Media Relations Simon Fraser University Room 2200 Strand Hall Phone 778.782.3210 sfumpr@sfu.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
