The Evolution of Severe Weather Response
Does your company have a plan for responding to severe weather threats? Do you close down operations? Do you wait until it becomes a warning before alerting employees?

Warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service, Paul Yura, joins Peter to discuss:

- Best practices for businesses responding to severe weather
- The increasing expectations for businesses to protect their employees
