Hurricane

Updated 8/4/25

Before an Incident

Aerospace ensures sites are prepared for hurricanes by taking mitigation measures such as:

  • Ensuring roof-mounted equipment are anchored and in good repair
  • Repairing or replacing weak or damaged windows, door hinges, and latches
  • Having generators or other means of emergency power available and testing the equipment periodically
  • Keeping supplies and equipment in stock (such as portable hoses, mops, shovels, etc.)

During an Incident

While the storm approaches

SCC and EHS will monitor the forecast and guidance from local authorities. This information will be forwarded to Aerospace personnel as needed via AeroElert, PA announcement, and other methods.

Onsite preparations may include:

  • Shutting down equipment that could be damaged
  • Moving vehicles and mobile equipment to safe locations
  • Identifying and removing/relocating potential projectiles
  • Evacuating employees and site closure

Refer to government agencies and weather channels for information on how best to prepare your family and home.

When the storm hits

  • Monitor weather advisories and Aerospace communications
  • Do not go outdoors
  • Do not enter flood waters

After an Incident

Aerospace sites will undergo damage assessments as necessary. Monitor for AeroElerts and other communications. Report any damage to SCC.
