Travel Advisory - Extension of Stay in Mexico
Enron has extended the recommended deadline for employees to return to the
United States from Mexico through Friday, November 10, because of the
current power situation in Mexico. It is unclear when employees who live in
Monterrey will be able to return to the United States through the
alternate airport in Salt Lake City. The following is a revised return
information for employees who live in Monterrey:
Anyone planning to return to the United States through the Salt Lake City
airport should make their own travel arrangements. Those who live further
east and wish to return to the United States through Monterrey should consider
returning to Houston through either flying or the railroad.
If you do return to the United States through Salt Lake City, be sure to
check with U.S. immigration at the airport about the current status of the
electrical situation before leaving for the United States.
Management has recommended that only those employees who live in Mexico City
or Monterrey throughly review the new policy. If your living quarters are
throughly compromised and you don't feel safe in traveling to Salt Lake City
or Monterrey, please see your manager in the office and/or contact U.S.
consulate in Monterrey for assistance.
If you live in Mexico City or Monterrey, you will need to obtain a travel
permit as soon as possible. Availability of permits in Mexico City is tight.
In order to obtain a permit you will need to complete and turn in the
form attached to Enron's Personnel Loss form (accessible through the HRWeb
site or the PEP website).
For employees who live in Mexico City or Monterrey who have permits
available: You should be in the office on Thursday, November 1, if possible
(or Monday, November 5), to turn in your travel permit and Personnel Loss
form. Please contact the U.S. consulate for any visa issues.
Employees in Mexico should pay their related travel expenses (e.g., flight
costs) on their own and make their own arrangements for housing in Mexico
during the trip, due to the emergency situation in Mexico.
It is imperative that all Enron employees on the Monterrey project complete
and turn in the required travel documentation prior to November 1.
Impact of the Tropical Storm on Enron's Activities in Mexico
The potential impact of this situation on our employees in the Mexico
office, especially the Monterrey Project, has been reviewed. While most of
the Monterrey project team is safe, housed in hotels and not expected to
experience any problems as a result of the Tropical Storm, a small number are
still cleaning up at their homes and making other preparations. Given that
the current situation is unpredictable, and we cannot predict the outcome of
the storm, we are taking the necessary precautions to protect the safety of
our employees. In order to keep the team fully informed of developments,
please coordinate with your team mates to use email or any other method of
communication. The following is a list of contact information:
Emergency Management Center- The number for the Center is 01-800-886-3437.
Attorneys are available at the Center 24-hours a day.
Safety Department and Corporate Human Resources- The numbers are
713-853-5536 and 713-646-5945 respectively.
Cleaning Services- There are two cleaning services in San Juan available to
assist in the cleanup: Intercontinental Cleaning Service is on the corner of
Juarez and Hermosillo, across from the Telmex Auditorium. Continental
Cleaning, on Federal Avenue, may be able to assist with your needs.
Psychological Assistance- There is a psychologist on the ground in Monterrey
who is available to provide assistance if the situation becomes overwhelming.
Assistance for Enron Employees Affected by the Tropical Storm
As a former employee of Enron in Mexico, I feel the impact of this disaster
on employees is especially harsh. Employees have lost their homes, are
unemployed, and in need of food and psychological counseling. In addition,
employees have incurred medical expenses, and will be out of work until the
storm has passed and the office is able to function. My department, Risk
Management, is assembling a team of accountants, consultants and lawyers who
will be working in the Acapulco area to provide Enron with information on
the damage and losses associated with this disaster. However, it is not clear
if or when this team will be formed. Until we know more, we recommend that
employees work with their individual human resources representatives and/or
the Acapulco attorneys to be in the best position to receive assistance from
our employee assistance program.
Plan to Operate Under the Tropical Storm
As we have previously mentioned, it is likely that the Monterrey office
location will be closed until the weather clears. We will make every effort
to maintain communications in the interim. We will not be able to make
business-critical decisions in Monterrey. As a result, it is critical that we
maintain routine communications with Houston, San Juan, and other Enron
offices.
If you have questions about your Monterrey or other foreign offices'
operations, please contact your foreign office representative directly or
contact Vicki Flores-Sheiberg @ 713-853-3923.
