Plant closing and notice period questions - 11 months and counting

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. There are 10 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Some colleagues are already leaving. Has anyone been through this?

The workforce board ran a rapid-response session for us with résumé help and information on benefits. Ask if yours will.

Write down key dates and keep copies of the notice. Mine helped when a question came up later.
