MOTOROLA IRRIGATION IS FOLLOWING MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS GLOBAL RESPONSE ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION

‍

A highly skilled team has been put in place and is closely monitoring the situation around the world. We have taken measures to manage the virus’ impact by following guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and local governments. These measures include:

• Working Remotely
  We have advised employees and contractors to work from home if they can. Those with responsibilities that require them to be on-site to support the mission-critical efforts of our customers have received more information about performing their duties to the extent possible and allowable during this time.

• Heavily Restricting Travel
  Employees have been instructed to avoid domestic and international air travel, which currently requires leadership approval.

• Avoiding In-Person Meetings and Gatherings
  Employees have been asked to avoid large in-person meetings and gatherings. Further, we have canceled our in-person corporate events and will opt for virtual events and product showcases instead.
• Implementing Extra Cleaning and Hygiene Measures
  We have implemented additional cleaning procedures at our facilities and continue to share guidance from public health authorities to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
• Business Continuity Planning
  We are committed to supporting our public safety and enterprise customers during this time, as we do during natural disasters and other widespread emergencies. Business continuity plans are being expanded, so we can adjust to changing circumstances and restrictions while striving to meet the varied needs of our customers. We encourage our customers to contact their account managers with questions.
