MEMORANDUM FOR BUREAU HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICERS

Many parts of the United States must occasionally cope with severe weather emergencies and natural disasters, frequently with little warning. Such emergencies are often dangerous and extremely disruptive for those who live in the affected communities. As "hurricane season" is upon us, the Office of Personnel Management has issued a memorandum reminding agencies of the various human resources (HR) flexibilities currently available to assist Federal employees affected by severe weather emergencies and natural disasters and their aftermath.

You may view the HR flexibilities at the following weblink: http://www.opm.gov/oca/compmemo/2006/2006-05.asp.

Please contact Rachel Villare, of my HR Policy staff, on (202) 616-3707 or via e-mail at Rachel.Villare@usdoj.gov if you have any questions.
