Spring Has Sprung and So Has Severe Weather – Are You Ready?

Spring is here (we think!), and that means severe weather is right around the corner. In keeping with our agency’s commitment to staff and visitor safety, last week we held severe weather drills in our agency-owned offices. The drills went well, as staff is becoming increasingly aware of where the offices’ severe weather shelters are located. If you have any feedback to provide about the drills, feel free to contact Dustin Gean, Operations Manager.

Please take some time to review the Agency’s Crisis Plan, paying special attention to the section about severe weather and the listing of each office’s storm shelter. The plan is archived on the Intranet > Crisis Action Plan.
