Emergency Preparedness

Weather emergencies do not discriminate as to who they will affect, when they will occur and what the outcome will be. It is important that we practice good emergency preparedness techniques at home, work, while on vacation, or participating in our favorite recreational events.

Did you know?

• Almost 30 of every 100 lightning deaths and injuries occur in open fields or recreational settings.
• Tornadoes can occur year-round, and at any time of day or night.
• Each one-foot of water displaces about 1500 pounds of your vehicles weight when driving through water or flooded areas.
• An emergency supply kit can be one of the most important things your family puts together.

HWPI emergency preparedness programs can be custom developed for your particular area of concern or situation.

We emphasize:

• Preparedness planning for the workplace
• The home environment
• Recreational settings
• While traveling
• Educating our children and older adults in recognizing serious events and taking proper action.

We recommend:

• Our H.E.L.P. program, now available for both residential and work environments
• Weather radios in the home and office
• Development of an emergency supply kit for your home and auto
• Yearly testing of your home and business emergency plan
