Right, these are additional paid sick days, just need to be manually claimed through the "My RTO" portal

There's also no penalty for forgetting to update the portal in time, from what I have heard

Update: and ppl can set their status in advance e.g. setting the whole January to "natural disaster" to avoid using personal paid sick leave

Update 2: There's a separate announcement showing some support and asking everyone in LA to WFH, which is omitted in the article
