What if Im working when disaster hits?

Today's Assignment

Assemble a basic office survival kit to be kept in your desk/locker. If there is ever a major emergency, you'll be glad you have it.
* 1 liter water
* whistle- if you are trapped, you can yell for help only until your voice wears out-but if you have a whistle, you can alert rescue workers for as long as you can breathe
* first aid kit- to save your life or someone else's CPR /first aid training is recommended
& flashlight- electricity is usually the first utility to be interrupted after an earthquake.
* comfortable walking shoes- traffic often halts during a catastrophe. After an earthquake, roads are often broken up and impassable. You'll be more comfortable walking home if you have a good pair of shoes.
*high caloric energy bars- you will need a food supply until you are rescued or able to get home.
