Emergency Preparedness
Before an emergency happens is the proper time to start preparing for it. Once the situation occurs there is little opportunity for planning and organization. In your daily life, look around and think about common situations that may occur and how you should respond to them.
What would you do if a coworker collapsed while at work? Do you know the address to your workplace? Do you have an AED or First Aid Kit available? If so, where are they located? Are you familiar with their contents and operations?
Simply taking a few minutes to figure what resources you have, where they are located, and how they work today — before you need to use it for a real emergency — may make a difference.
