April is Severe Weather Preparedness Month. At Astec, the safety and wellbeing of our employees is our top priority. With many places experiencing unpredictable weather this time of year, prepare yourself by reviewing these safety tips:
Stay Informed: Monitor weather updates through reliable sources like the National Weather Service, weather apps, or local news to get alerts for severe weather events such as storms, floods, or tornadoes.
Create an Emergency Kit: Prepare a kit with essentials like non-perishable food, water (one gallon per person per day for at least three days), flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, medications, and important documents.
Know Your Shelter Locations: Identify the safest places in your home. For tornadoes, go to a basement or interior room on the lowest floor. For floods, avoid low-lying areas. Know where to go if you’re caught outside.
Have a Communication Plan: Establish a family emergency communication plan in case you get separated. Make sure everyone knows how to reach each other or where to meet.
