Severe weather may include rain, hail, tornadoes, high winds, ice, sleet and snow, excessive heat, etc.

Remain calm and always use your best judgment when severe weather occurs, because it may be difficult to predict what situation may arise due to a weather related emergency. Local authorities may issue a severe weather warning by radio or civil defense sirens.

Public warning sirens operated by county and city municipalities are designed to be heard outside, and may not be heard inside the building. Building Management strongly recommends that each Tenant also have a weather radio to monitor severe weather warnings and a plan of action in place for dealing with severe weather, both during and after business hours, for the safety of their employees. For weather information you may visit the National Weather Service’s website at www.nws.noaa.gov.
