Severe weather is expected to continue today across the state, including the possibility of thunderstorms with flooding, hail, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes. Please stay alert to changing conditions and review our Severe Weather Preparedness Plan below to ensure everyone’s safety.
Severe Weather Preparedness Plan
-
If local tornado sirens sound, your safety is our top priority. Please leave your belongings and immediately go to a designated shelter area on the lowest floor without windows, such as a basement, bathroom, closet or center hallway.
-
Welcome customers to shelter with you for their safety.
Office Preparations
Each office should identify a safe room in advance—an inside room on the lowest floor without windows. For those at HQ, access the basement through the stairwells. Elevators will remain operational, but please reserve them for those needing accessibility assistance.
Once in the shelter, please ensure all employees and customers are accounted for until the storm has passed and sirens are no longer active.
Sign Up for Weather Notifications
Stay informed about closures or service reductions by signing up for notifications from the Department of Public Safety (DPS). You can opt for text or email updates. If registering for the first time, you’ll need to create an account and a password, then select “Statewide Weather Notifications” before submitting.
If you have any questions about severe weather procedures, please reach out to your supervisor. Stay safe today!
