but excluding the public schools) or the stoppage or relocation of
any non-school Town operations for a full or part of any day or for

For the purposes hereof, closing of Town facilities may be declared

of Town employees, including, without limitation, snowstorms or other
inclement weather (e.g., hurricanes or floods), earthquakes, fires,
power failures, acts of terrorism or bomb threats.

the circumstances, with the Police Department and/or Department of
Public Works and shall be noticed by municipal notification system,
