How Do You Create An Urban Emergency Evacuation Kit For Work?
• Evaluate where you work and how far you live from work. Don’t think of it in regular transportation terms. Ask yourself what you would do if you had to get home without the use of a car or public transportation during an emergency. • Discuss with your family what you may do in an emergency if they can’t reach you by cell phone. Discuss your options and what scenarios would be practical. Knowing what your actions may be will enable them to assist even if you can’t communicate during the emergency.If your family hears of an emergency, they may be able to pick up your kids, meet you at a meeting place, or be ready to spring into action when they get your call, text, or third-party message. Have a family action plan. • Coordinate with your co-workers and exchange ideas for creating individual jump-and-run bags ideal for your situation, urban area, and workplace. • If you work with someone who also lives near you, discuss in advance and plan on using the buddy system to get home together.
