Hurricane season can change quickly. While Ingalls prepares the shipyard for severe weather, every shipbuilder should also have a plan at home.
Preparing now helps protect your family and makes it easier to respond when a storm is in the forecast.
"We spend months preparing the shipyard before a storm ever forms because we know those early actions make a difference. The same is true at home. The more you can take care of before a storm is in the Gulf, the more confident you'll be when it's time to act,” said Justin McArthur, Facilities & Maintenance Director & Heavy Weather Lead.
