Hurricane Season | Act now to be better prepared later

Published 07/11/2024


Hurricane season is underway and Ingalls wants to make sure every shipbuilder is prepared. 

 

The company’s heavy weather plan is implemented long before the coastline is threatened, with every storm being carefully monitored and evaluated from the time it forms. Ensuring the safety of shipbuilders before, during and after storm activity is the primary goal of that plan. This includes preparing ahead of time for resources and backup plans to assist shipbuilders during emergencies. 

 

Stay safe, informed and prepared by acting now. Here’s a checklist of things to take care of before heavy weather threatens our area:

 

  • Have a plan and storm supplies in place for your family and your home

  • Download the IngallsConnect App

  • Subscribe to IngallsConnect text alerts by sending 123-INGALLS to 38671

  • Update your contact information on your HR Online profile. If you don’t have access to your HR Online profile, call 228-935-3072 to update your contact information
