The KNMI issues weather warnings in various codes depending on the weather's risk to people's safety. Below, you can read what the university and faculty follow for these codes.

When it comes to the safety of employees and students who are on their way for work or education, it is important to communicate clearly during a weather warning. In the case of code orange, as was issued today on November 2, exams and teaching will proceed as usual. If this changes, please follow the updates on the website.
