Do you know what to do in the event of severe weather?
The Occupational and Environmental Safety department has severe weather plan documents to help you and your department stay safe during severe weather or tornado watches and warnings:
Ask your manager about the plan for your department, unit or location and consult these documents for more information, including:
- The difference between a tornado watch and warning
- Precautions to take during severe weather watches
- Actions to take during severe weather warnings
General information on signs of severe weather and preparedness and response are available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at emergency.cdc.gov/disasters/tornados/.
