In a severe weather emergency, all  employees should be aware of their responsibilities and the actions they should take to protect themselves and others.

General Severe Weather Safety Practices

  • If severe weather is threatening, tune in to local radio or television stations or check local weather reports online.
  • If a tornado warning is issued or the weather becomes severe, seek immediate cover in the company’s pre-designated shelter area.
  • If you are unable to reach the pre-designated shelter area, take cover in interior rooms with small or no windows such as restrooms, kitchens or hallways on the lowest possible floor.
  • Climb under heavy furniture, such as tables and desks, if possible.
  • Cover your face and head with blankets, coats, jackets, etc. to protect yourself from flying glass.
  • Stay away from windows and doors and do not use the telephone.
  • Be prepared to take cover when the following alerts have been issued for our area:
    • Severe Thunderstorm Watch—Severe thunderstorms are possible.
    • Tornado Watch—Tornadoes are possible.
    • Severe Thunderstorm Warning—Severe thunderstorms are occurring.
  • Take immediate cover when the following warning has been issued for our area:
    • Tornado Warning—A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar.
