Message:   Thankfully supply shortages have not become a nationwide issue as yet.
We are however discussing what our facilities options are if fuel shortages become a reality in my state.
I & my husband are as well looking at & exploring the various options available to us personally in such a crisis.

For now though, we simply try to accomidate by any means that is possible, trusting the employees to make some concessions as well.

We have done the "borrow a bed" thing a few times in the winter months. When a heavy storm is expected to hit over night I have had day shift staff come in the night before & occupy a room....at their request, not mine.
I've also had weekend Baylors stay in a room at night when driving conditions were extremely risky & they would likely spend more time on the road getting home & back then what they would spend at home....I have even suggested they stay at the facility in such cases.

So if fuel shortages become a reality here, such accomidations might be possible, though we are running at capacity most of the time these days.
