Think Safe – Work Safe
Safety Topic: Severe Weather Safety
Spring is on the way and with it comes the potential for severe weather. Severe weather may include lightning, strong winds, hail and tornadoes, and may require the need to seek shelter.
Remember: sirens are meant to alert those who are outside to the potential of severe weather and the need to seek shelter inside a building immediately. They are not to be confused with alarms inside the building, which alert you to the need to evacuate. Announcements over the PA system will alert you to stay inside the building during severe weather.
If you are inside the building, you may not hear the outside sirens. Have a backup method to personally alert you, such as Code Red, local media, weather apps or a NOAA weather radio.
