Chancellor's Announcement: Severe Weather in Alameda County

Dear Peralta Community,

The National Weather Service has issued both a flood watch and a wind advisory that took effect this afternoon (Thursday, March 9, 2023) for areas including the Peralta Community College District.  Both notices are in effect through tomorrow (with the flood watch extending to March 12th).  As a result of these weather conditions, I am recommending that employees who can do their jobs remotely work from home tomorrow, Friday, March 10, 2023. If you have questions about your status, please consult your supervisor.  I have advised leadership at the colleges and district office to have non-essential staff work remotely.  

Alameda County resources are available at https://www.acgov.org/emergencysite/ and https://www.acgov.org/ready/flood.htm. 

National Weather Service information about Oakland and surrounding areas is available here.   

We will continue to keep you posted via email announcement and via Safe Peralta at https://safe.peralta.edu regarding additional weather-related updates.  

Please stay safe and look out for one another. 

JANNETT N JACKSON, PhD

Interim Chancellor
