Hello everyone. It's already been almost three months since I started posting for Your Emergency Preparation Journal every week! One more post to go!
Until then, let's keep it up!
Since we've talked a bit about emergency preparation at home, let's talk about emergency preparation at work.
We've already talked about storing water and preparing an emergency backpack (although, the emergency backpack can also be used at your workplace). Storing flashlights (not candles or matches, since they can cause fires) in a reachable spot should also be a must.
The checklist below shows the types of items that could be used as survival tools at your workplace. It is basically the same as the list for your emergency backpack, except that when you're preparing for an emergency at your workplace, you should be aware that you may be trapped inside a building for long periods of time (up to 3 days), and so you should be prepared for this.
So here is the checklist:
Again, like most of my sources, this checklist is drawn from the LA Fire Department Emergency Preparedness Booklet. To access the full booklet, here is the link:
