Hazardous Weather

Emergency situations may arise that are beyond our control which may result in the closing or early dismissal of the court.

During non-working hours, when hazardous weather conditions exists, the Chief Judge, or Acting Chief Judge will make the determination whether or not to close the Court. Every effort will be made to have an announcement to the public by 6:00 A.M. Announcements will be given to the following radio and television stations:

KDKA Radio and Television

WTAE Radio and Television

WPXI Television

The announcement should say that the Federal Court is closed. DO NOT confuse this with any announcements saying that the Federal Government is closed, or that the District Court is closed.
