Severe Weather and Natural Disasters

The U.S. Weather Service reports the movement of severe weather that may present a threat to metropolitan area. Tenants have the choice of evacuating or remaining in the building during a severe weather alert. If your company decides to evacuate the building, notify the Incident Commander of your intention to do so. If an early alert is given by the U.S. Weather Service and a decision is made to remain in the building, certain steps can be taken to prepare for the severe weather.

 

Tenants should maintain an inventory of first aid and emergency supplies to be used during severe weather.

 

Notify the Building Management Office of all leaks, fires, and structural or other damage during or after the storm.

 

If informed by the U.S. Weather Service that severe weather is imminent, follow the steps below:

  • Move to core areas of the building
  • Take cover in an interior hallway
  • Stay away from doors and windows
  • Close perimeter doors behind you

 

EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS

  • Food and water - at minimum, a 3 day supply (a 7 day supply is ideal)
  • First Aid kit and First Aid manual
  • Large and small heavy-duty plastic bags, duct tape and scissors
  • Extra prescriptions and eyewear
  • Heavy-duty shoes and gloves
  • Extra clothing and a whistle
  • Rescue tools

During an Earthquake

Most earthquake-induced injuries are caused by falling objects or debris that has become dislodged by the quake. During an earthquake, please observe the following:

  • Remain calm, do not panic.
  • Stay in the office area.
  • Take cover under tables, desks, or strong doorways.
  • Keep away from windows and glass doors.
  • Keep clear of filing cabinets, shelves and tall stacks of materials.
  • Check for any injured personnel and administer first aid where necessary.
  • Floor Wardens should assess damage and injuries and be prepared to expedite evacuation of serious cases.
  • In the event of a fire resulting from an earthquake, follow the fire emergency procedures.
  •  

Following an Earthquake

  • Be prepared for aftershocks. While aftershocks are generally smaller than the earthquake that generates them, they can cause additional damage.
  • If you smell gas, notify the Building Office or Security immediately.
  • Check immediate location - make sure you are safe.
  • Check for injuries and apply first aid as needed. Be prepared for an absence of immediate emergency services and be prepared to help yourself and others.
  • Extinguish any fires. Do not light matches. Do not smoke.
  • Listen for news or pertinent instructions on the radio or television.
  • Do not use the telephone unless you have a dire emergency; ensure that all telephone receivers are properly mated to their cradles.
  • Conserve and responsibly ration food and water.
