SEVERE WEATHER <br /> In the event your building or geographical area is threatened by a severe storm or tornado,the <br /> National Weather Service will make an announcement. <br /> Severe weather safety requires knowledge in advance where the designated shelter areas are <br /> located. Employee and visitor designated shelter areas are marked in the Utilities Office. <br /> WHAT TO DO: <br /> 1. Turn off lights, calculators, typewriters, computers, etc... , if time permits; for example, <br /> if there is a tornado at the Sherburne County Courthouse you do not want to take time <br /> to turn off any equipment. Leave your office/work station and proceed to the <br /> designated shelter area using the tornado shelter route. See "Severe Weather Shelter <br /> Map," located on page 21. <br /> a) If you are in an unfamiliar area of the building, follow the people around you to <br /> the designated shelter area. <br /> b) If a visitor or an employee from a different area of the building is with you, <br /> direct them to accompany you as you evacuate. <br /> c) If you become trapped in your office, stay away from any windows and crawl <br /> underneath any heavy object and protect your head. Curl up so that your head <br /> and eyes are protected. <br /> 2. Stay away from the outer walls of the building and exterior glass and doorways. <br /> 3. Close all doors leading to the designated shelter area once safely inside. <br /> 4. Remain in your shelter area until notified by the General Manager or his/her designee. <br /> In the event that sheltering is necessary for utility employees, department heads will be <br /> responsible for clearing their respective area of assigned personnel. The following key factors <br /> will help you select the best shelter area in your building. <br /> 15 <br /> 96 <br />
