How To Put Together An Emergency Kit For Your Business

A business disaster kit should include emergency office supplies and equipment that will allow you and your employees to stay safe. So, what to put in an office emergency kit? Here is a list of items to consider when creating a business preparedness kit:
* Bottled water 
* Non-perishable food: A three-day supply of non-perishable food per person – the food should not require any cooking and should not provoke thirst (canned meats, vegetables, and fruits; nuts, etc)
* Make sure you store a manual can opener
* First-aid kit and essential medications: Sterile gauze pads, bandages, antiseptic lotion, pain relievers, fever reducers, burn ointment, allergy meds, thermometer, scissors, tweezers, etc.
* Sanitation and hygiene supplies: Hand soap, paper towels, moist towelettes, antibacterial wipes, toilet paper, garbage bags, disinfectants, and other hygiene supplies necessary to maintain sanitary conditions and avoid sickness during a time of disaster;
* Personal protection gear: Dust masks, safety glasses, work gloves, hard hats, sturdy boots, and other personal protection equipment. Thermal blankets, rain ponchos, jackets, tarps
* Emergency supplies: Fire extinguishers, flashlights, light-sticks, spare batteries, whistles to signal for help, a portable hand crank radio
* Basic tools: Swiss army knives, wrenches, pliers, hammers, screwdrivers, duct tape, plastic sheeting, plastic ties, and other tools and supplies that may be needed for emergency tasks like turning off the water valve or waterproofing a room;
