Emergency Supplies
Talk to your co-workers about what emergency supplies the company can
feasibly provide, if any, and which ones individuals should consider
keeping on hand.
Recommended emergency supplies include the following:
Water
The amounts for portable kits will vary. Individuals should determine
what amount they are able to both store comfortably and to transport to
other locations. If it is feasible, store one gallon of water per
person per day, for drinking and sanitation
- Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Extra warm clothes
- Sturdy shoes with thick soles
- Battery-powered radio and extra batteries
- Matches
- rain gear
- Extra prescription medicine
- Blankets/space blanket
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Toilet paper, sanitary napkins
- Antibacterial soap
- First Aid kit
- Whistle to signal for help
- Dust or filter masks
- Moist towelettes for sanitation
- Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
- Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food)
- Plastic sheeting and duct tape to "seal the room"
- Garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
We have seen enough natural disasters in the recent past to take
this to heart. Every home and office should hjave an emergency plan and
food and water for at least 72 hours.
