In an ongoing effort to increase efficiencies in state government all Missourians will now have access to call (888) 390-9927 toll free for an updated announcement of state office building closures. The hotline will provide an invaluable tool to inform both citizens and employees if buildings are closed or if hours are extended in the event of an emergency or safety threat. The toll free number is informational only and will not accept messages from callers for follow-up.
The hotline will simplify communications in the event of severe weather or other emergencies, such as the recent storms. Following the deadly winter storms several state office buildings in the St. Louis region were open overnight to serve as warming centers. The storms also forced some state offices to close under the threat of heavy snow loads on the roof. If the hotline were in place both citizens and employees could have used the toll free service to learn more information about building access.
When accessing the hotline callers will be greeted with a generic message when all state office buildings are open for business. In the event that a building(s) needed to be closed for any reason, building closures will be listed in the message to include the building name and the city/county affected.
For more information contact Jeff Schaeperkoetter or Paula Jacobs in the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction (FMDC) at (573) 751-0461.
