Keeping you connected

During this time of staying at home, we're delighted to catch up with the community. In our new “Keeping You Connected” video series, we celebrate the amazing people who make up our community. We start this series with Andy, an educator at IU who plays a central role in shaping our future workforce. He enjoys teaching the next generation and discovering answers to the unknown. Andy is proud to be a Hoosier and is passionate about teaching.

It's storm season!

Be prepared.

Preparation is key to staying safe. Get ready before severe weather strikes!

Don't let severe weather take you by surprise. Prepare with these tips:

Be weather-ready: Check the forecast regularly to see if you're at risk for severe weather. Listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay informed.
Sign up for notifications: Know how your community sends warning. Some communities have outdoor sirens, while others depend on media and smart phones to alert residents to severe storms.
Consider a landline phone: A landline phone provides security in an emergency with reliable 911 communications--and it works even during and electrical outage. Make a corded phone part of your storm plan. It doesn't require electricity and can be used as your back-up method of communication. Ask how you can include a landline for only $5 per month.
Create a communications plan: Have a family plan that includes an emergency meeting place and related information. Pick a safe room in your home, such as a basement, storm cellar, or an interior room on the lowest floor with no windows. Get more ideas for a plan at: https://www.ready.gov/make-a-plan
Practice your plan: Conduct a family severe thunderstorm drill regularly to make sure everyone knows what to do if a damaging wind or large hailstorm is approaching. All members of your family should know to go there when severe thunderstorm warnings are issued. Don't forget pets, if time allows.
Prepare your home: Keep trees and branches trimmed near your house. If you have time before severe weather hits, secure loose objects, close windows and doors, and move any valuable objects inside or under a sturdy structure.
Help your neighbor: Encourage your loved ones to prepare for severe thunderstorms. Take CPR training so you can help if someone is hurt during severe weather.
