Episode 198: Preparing for a Storm

 

Here are some thoughts on how to be weather aware and prepare your facility and people.

 

Checking roads

• who does this?
• how long before the service?
• Leadership who decides if service is cancelled?

Communicating closure

What places do you communicate

• • Social media/texting
  • Local TV
  • Local Radio
  • Send out robo call
  • Website
• designate one person to do communication

 

Cancelled if School cancels

 

in case of snow do this:

• clearing sidewalks
• greeters and helpers
• mop to dry up water on the floor

 

in case of rain do this:

• have umbrellas handy for greeters to help people from cars
• mop to dry up water on the floor

 

In case of tornado do this:

• does the church have a designated shelter?
• do teachers and leaders know where?
• Communicate to families that everyone is ok

 

For wind do this:

some places have high winds from time to time and need people stationed at doors to hold on to the door.
