Team PAW,

We want to personally thank everyone for their patience, professionalism, and cooperation during this emergency. We know the uncertainty surrounding the evacuation and facility closure has created stress both professionally and personally, and we appreciate how everyone has handled it so far.

As of today, we remain under the mandatory evacuation order related to the hazardous materials incident in the area, and we are not permitted to return to the building until emergency officials determine it is safe to do so. As a result, we will remain closed tomorrow, May 26th.

Please do not attempt to enter the evacuation zone or access the facility for any reason at this time.

Our priority remains everyone’s safety while we coordinate next steps, assess operational impacts, and work through contingency plans. We will continue providing updates regarding:

• Facility access status
• Work schedules and department expectations
• Remote work or alternate arrangements where applicable
• Operational and payroll updates

We understand the frustration and uncertainty that comes with circumstances like this, but right now we want everyone focused on their safety and families first while authorities continue managing the incident.

Thank you again for your flexibility and support of one another during this time. Please continue monitoring your emails for updates.

Gabi, John, Alex
