Severe Weather
When severe weather conditions become apparent, the
U.S. Weather Bureau describes by two (2) classifications, a Watch or a
Warning. This applies to the
reporting of severe thunderstorms, the approach of weather conditions
favoring the formation of tornadoes, a hurricane condition, a winter
storm condition, etc. A
watch becomes effective when atmospheric conditions are right to produce
the particular weather phenomenon.
A warning means that the weather condition has been spotted and
prompt action must be taken for safety.
Except in very rare circumstances, the decision to
evacuate the building based on the above weather reports will not be
made by BMHC, but rather by each Tenant Company.
However, in the event these conditions do exist, the following
guidelines should be kept in mind:
-
Move away from outside windows. If the windows in your offices are supplied with blinds, close the blinds (this will provide protection from broken glass).
-
DO NOT PANIC.
-
If evacuated, lock all desk drawers and take all items of value with you.
-
If evacuated, use a route that is in the building interior and stay away from large expanses of glass and windows.
-
Use the stairwells rather than the elevators.
-
Snow Storm
In the event Brighton Marine Health Center is
closed due to a snow storm, Courtyard Café and other services will also
be curtailed. Facility
Management will contact the tenant representative to advise them of
BMHC’s decision to close, the campus will remain open unless a State of
Emergency is declared.
