Emergency Equipment Lists

The Rule of Threes (in survival): Shelter — Three hours Water — Three days Food — Three weeks In other words, you should assume you can survive without shelter for three hours, without water for three days, and without food for three weeks. In an urban environment, the Rule of Threes still applies. The solutions are just easier to find, probably as close as your nearest Costco. At the very least, go out and purchase the following: Emergency blankets and sleeping bags. Make sure they’re rated for the lowest recorded temperature in your area. In a home robbed of power, “shelter” equals warmth. If you have a chimney, get seasoned wood; if not, get a vent-free gas stove. Don’t forget the fuel. Two weeks’ worth of water. Budget at least one gallon per person per day, and backup water purification tablets are a good idea. If you live close to the ocean, you could also buy a desalinator for turning salt water into potable water. Two weeks’ worth of food with a long shelf life. Lentils, rice, beans, canned vegetables, etc. Protein bars are a good supplement and provide some variety, as do military MREs. Emergency lighting, including a few headlamps, and a ton of batteries. First-aid kit and (for the ambitious) extra antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and Azithromycin (Z-Paks), while imperfect, are good broad-spectrum antibiotics. This basic prep might seem crazy if you’ve never been caught in a disaster. No one in SF expected the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, either, but it left thousands without running water for 10 days, and without power for four days.

I would like to touch real quick on "Contact Release" or "Rescue/Release of victim of electric shock. In many of my travels, teaching and consulting. I have observed numerous organizations that have went to great lengths, spent a significant amount of money, time and resources on their electrical safety program. However, I rarely see a rescue hook or rescue vest. In the event that someone is being electrocuted, and is "hung up" (meaning they have reached the "cant let go threshold"). If there are no insulated rescue tools (like the one seen in the photos) then the rescuer is forced to improvise, overcome, and adapt. E.G. a nonconductive stick, board, belt, extension cord, ext. to attempt to rescue the victim. PLEASE TAKE NOTE! These methods are a last resort if you do not have the insulated hook or vest! As matter of fact, the NFPA 70 E, 2024 edition, and previous, doesn't even mention any of those alternative methods. Here is what the 2024 standard has to say; "A quick response is essential during an electric shock incident — seconds gained or lost can decide the fate of a victim. Often, shutting off the equipment is the most efficient way to safely release an employee. However, an electric shock rescue kit equipped with all the necessary personal and protective equipment can help save rescue personnel vital time. *The electric shock rescue kit could include items such as: an insulated *rescue stick or hook (pictured below) *a voltage detector *a cable cutter with insulated handles *an insulating platform or pad *insulated rubber gloves *insulated dielectric overshoes (boots) *safety and first aid instructions, *a roll of adhesive warning tape *and a can of talcum powder The composition of the kit should depend on the situation in which it would be used." In summary, if your going to keep your workers safe, which I know you are, purchase a rescue hook or rescue vest! They are very reasonably priced and fairly easy to learn how to use. Once you make the purchase, get some quality training from a recognized SME. Nothing out there in any facility, production plant, construction jobsite, is worth risking your life or your workers lives! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything withing my wheelhouse! #servantleadership #electricalshockppe #rescuehook #rescuevest #electricalsafety

You pull up on a car wreck. Someone's bleeding out. Do you know what to do? Most people freeze. I used to be one of them. Several months ago, ProActive Response Group came to our campus and put on a training session that changed how I think about preparedness. They taught us how to disarm a threat, apply a tourniquet, and properly pack a wound. Evil doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care if you're at a place of worship, a job site, or sitting in traffic. Accidents don't wait for first responders to be close by. That's why I carry two North American Rescue, LLC Bleed Control Kits in my truck everywhere I go. Each kit includes: 🔸 CAT Tourniquet 🔸 Wound Packing Gauze 🔸 Trauma Dressing 🔸 Hyfin Vent Compact Chest Seal If I come up on an accident that just happened or a situation with casualties, I know how to act. Not panic. Act. 💡 Professional insight: You can't predict when you'll be the first person on scene. But you can decide right now whether you'll be useful or helpless when that moment comes. Training and the right gear turn bystanders into first responders. Do you carry any emergency gear in your vehicle? Have you taken any first aid or trauma training? #TheTrustedFreightGuy

We’re always preparing for storms no matter the season. During #NationalPreparednessMonth, it’s also important for you to be ready by having a plan that works best for you and your family. A good place to start is to build a storm kit. Not sure what to include? Below are some staples, along with other important tips to keep in mind when bad weather is on the way. Storm kit checklist: ✔️ Water ✔️ First-aid kit ✔️ Non-perishable food and manual can opener ✔️ Batteries/ Battery operated radio ✔️ Flashlight ✔️ Prescription medicine ✔️ Food for your animals Before a storm hits: - Check on elderly neighbors - Charge your devices - Save Eversource’s phone number (800-286-2000) - Know how to install and operate a generator safely - Download our mobile app - Sign up for our text message alerts - Follow us on social media for updates During a storm: - Report your outage on Eversource.com - Visit our Outage Map for more information - Assume all downed wires are live and stay away - Never try to power your house by plugging a portable generator into a household outlet After a storm: - If you have to drive, watch out for trees and wires in the road - Do not drive across a downed power line - When your power returns, turn on your appliances one at a time to avoid a power surge - Never enter a flooded basement or home until the electricity and natural gas service are turned off
