Emergency Response Plan: Severe and Dangerous Weather


The Emergency Response Plans are designed to protect all employees during emergencies. It is important to thoroughly understand proper precautions and procedures to avoid conflict and any additional hazards. 

For your reference, the Genera safety team and their extensions are listed on the right-hand side of this blog.

What to do during severe and dangerous weather:

  • When notified of a hurricane, tornado, high winds, severe storms, or lightning, the Fire Warden should:
    • Notify all individuals of the warning via email. (Liz will do this as well)
    • Circulate through the office/floor to verify everyone has been notified
    • Advise individuals to move away from windows to places of maximum protection (e.g. interior room, break room, centrally located conference room, or stairwell). 
    • Lower and close all blinds.
    • Have assigned assistants help special needs personnel in moving to protected locations and move to stairwell landing if necessary. 
  • During snow, ice, or any other hazardous weather that can be dangerous for driving on the roads, please use extra caution and never put yourself at risk for an accident. During chances of this type of weather happening, please call the Genera weather hotline before coming to work.
