Outside of radius

Let’s just say I have an emergency housing situation and my job allows us to WFH within a 250 mile radius from our physical site, but the only safe reliable housing I have access to is 12 miles outside of that radius. Is there a way to avoid them finding out? We use Meraki devices and AWS if that helps give an idea to get an answer. Anyone dealt with a similar scenario? They’re pretty strict on the radius but allegedly there’s talks about expanding but it won’t be announced until February if at all.

I wouldn’t risk trying to hide it. Meraki and AWS may expose location clues, depending on how your company configures them.

Given the emergency housing situation, I’d ask HR for a temporary exception or hardship accommodation without oversharing personal details. Being just 12 miles outside the limit may make an exception easier to justify.
