WASHINGTON -- Due to "overriding concerns of safety and security of employees, and in light of the disruptions of power and major transportation systems in the Washington area," the Federal Government will be closed for the second straight day.
Susan Bryant, deputy director of communications with the OPM, tells WTOP only essential personnel should report.
