April 14 -20 is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Colorado
April 15, 2019
As winter turns to spring, we’re also in for a turn in weather. Lightning, strong winds, flash flooding, hail, or tornadoes could quickly strike your ministry. The National Weather Service has designated April 14-20, 2019, as Severe Awareness Week in Colorado. The goal of Severe Weather Awareness Week is to build towards a Weather Ready Nation where people are prepared for and respond to all dangerous weather and flood hazards.
Brotherhood Mutual offers some practical advice on how to plan for how your ministry will protect the people and property in its care:
When severe weather approaches, people may need to take shelter. Reduce the confusion or panic that could ensue by creating, communicating, and practicing a plan in advance.
As you develop a plan, consider how you would:
- Get people to shelter
- Monitor weather updates
- Coordinate your staff and volunteers
- Prevent fires from a lightning strike
- Provide shelter to community storm victims
Brotherhood Mutual offers a variety of resources to help get you started. Click here for topics. Or, check to see where your ministry is vulnerable by downloading the company’s Developing a Disaster Plan Checklist.
