Why Be Prepared in Emergency Management?
• Emergencies and disasters do not discriminate - they can happen anytime, anywhere, and to anyone.
• Just as individuals and families must prepare for emergencies, so too must businesses. Preparedness helps to ensure the safety of people and assets, which in turn helps to protect the business investment itself.
•Agriculture operations are unique compared to other businesses.

provide up-to-date radar forecasts• Internet – many options. i.e. -The National Weather Service
Web site provides local weather forecasts, current warnings and radar images.

Designate a Storm Shelter
• Shelters should be structurally sound and not in danger of collapse during severe storms. FEMA has criteria of what constitutes an adequate area.
• Should provide protection from wind, blowing debris and lightning.
• Do not permit anyone to seek shelter near trees or other tall objects.
• Keep people away from doorways, windows, electrical appliances and plumbing.
• Wired telephones should not be used during thunderstorms because of the risk of electrocution, but cordless and cellular phones are safe to use.
