Even though Mother Nature seems a bit fickle this year, spring truly is around the corner. And it is never too late to start talking through an action plan — at work and at home — for when the spring storms start to appear. Here are a few reminders:

• During a staff meeting, you and your managers should review what to do if severe weather occurs during business hours. Make sure you know where to go, how to assist customers, and what to do with important documents and cash drawers.

• Now is the time to make sure your family knows evacuation procedures at home, too. Do a walk-through with them so everyone knows what to do.

• Be sure to have the RPX Notification phone number (866-646-7421) set up in your cell phone with a unique ringtone. That way, whether it’s a test of the system or a real call, you won’t miss it. Either way, be sure to answer it and respond accordingly.

• Finally, make sure your contact information is up to date within UltiPro. Remember: If your cell and home numbers are the same, that number must be entered in both fields. This is uploaded into the automated notification system daily. If it becomes necessary to activate the system, it is important that we have your most current contact information.

Here’s to a safe winter and early spring!
