Preparedness Tip #10 A community working together during an emergency make sense. Talk to your neighbors about how you can work together during an emergency. Find out if anyone has specialized equipment like a power generator, or expertise such as medical knowledge, that might help in a crisis. Decide who will check on the elderly or disabled neighbors. Make back-up plans for children in case you can’t get home in an emergency. Sharing plans and communicating in advance is a good strategy
Preparedness Tip #11 What if disaster strikes while you are at work? Do you know the emergency preparedness plan for your workplace? While many companies have been more alert and pro-active in preparing for disasters of all types since the September 11, 2001 attacks, a national survey indicates that many employees still don’t know what their workplace plan is for major ominor disasters. If you don’t know yours, make a point to ask. Know multiple ways to exit your building, participate in workplace evacuation drills, and consider keeping some emergency supplies at the office.
