SEVERE WEATHER PROCEDURES
• Once a severe weather warning has been issued, communication will be disseminated via radio or in person. Anyone in greenhouses or outdoors should move indoors and away from windows immediately.

• Once the Glencoe Village Early Warning Siren sounds, the Garden’s P.A. System will deliver notices of severe weather and/or instructions to move to shelter will be given by Security or an emergency coordinator. Proceed immediately to the nearest designated shelter area (see chart below). The emergency coordinator for the nearest indoor area will help to direct you to the shelter area, if necessary. Remain in that area until Security advises that it is safe to leave.

• If you are responsible for other members of your department, volunteers, or guests who are out on the Garden grounds, notify them that they are to move to shelter. If necessary, enlist the assistance of Security.

• If weather forces a Garden closure, staff will be notified via Everbridge. Further updates, if inquiring before or after operating hours, will be sent via Everbridge and posted at www.emergencyclosingcenter.com (prior registration on this system is required to receive an auto-notification).
