- 5. WHY PLAN? Business throughout the Pacific Northwest are subject to a number of potential natural disasters such as fires, flooding, severe storms, earthquakes, dam failures, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and manmade disasters. While we all hope that such occurrences never happen, it has been shown time and time again that being prepared for disasters is prudent. Emergency services and government agencies will not be able to respond to your needs immediately. Their buildings, equipment, personnel, communications, and mobility will be severely hampered by the event. All local and government resources are first allocated to local municipalities. They will be overwhelmed. Experts tell us to plan on our own for a minimum of 3 days. We cannot stop these disasters form occurring, but we can minimize the impact on us as an organization. Contrary to belief the chances of being killed or injured in a disaster are very low. Most likely you would be unable to work or live normally at your work site or home. They may be damaged and let in the weather, it may be cold with no heat, no electrical power, drinking water, or it may not even be safe for you to reenter. In short, disasters make life very uncomfortable.
- 6. WHY PLAN? Continued Proper planning and preparation will help you and your coworkers be more comfortable in the event that your worksite is damaged, or you can’t get back into it. Think of is as a “quality of life” issue. The most important concept in developing a work emergency preparedness plan is communication. Every member of the company needs to be involved so that when disaster strikes, everyone will know what to do. How well we manage the aftermath of disaster depends a great deal on your level of preparedness when disasters strike. In the following slides we will cover a step-by-step process to disaster planning along with other essential information we will need in building a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan. A plan will only be effective when everyone knows about it and agrees to operate within its guidelines.

- 24. Utilities Grubb and Ellis Maintenance Services will be primarily responsible for all utilities located at your worksite. Utilities are commonly referred to as: 1. Gas 2. Sewer 3. Electricity -> 4. Water
- 25. Planning for Specific Disasters FIRE More than 24 million fires are reported annually, resulting in over $11 billion in property damage. The United States has one of the highest fire death rates per capita in the world. At least 6,000 people dies each tear and additional 100,000 are injured. Senior citizens and children under age 5 are at the highest risk. Fires is fast, dark and deadly, emitting smoke and gases than can render a person unconscious within minutes. It is the most likely disaster that business’s will experience.
- 26. Planning for Specific Disasters Floods Floods are the most common and widespread of all natural disasters and can occur nearly anywhere in the United States. Flooding has been responsible for the deaths of more than 10,000 people since 1900. Property damage attributable to flooding now totals over $1 billion each year. The sheer force of just six inches of swiftly moving water can knock people off their feet. Cars are easily swept away in just two feet of water. Flash floods can occur with little or no warning and can reach full peak within minutes. Rapidly rising walls of water can reach heights of 30 feet or more and are generally accompanied by a deadly3 cargo of Debris
- 27. Planning for Specific Disasters Earthquakes. Seventy million people in 39 states are at high risk from earthquakes. People in all states, however, are at some risk. Earthquakes can cause buildings to collapse, disrupt utilities and trigger landslides, avalanches, flash floods, fires, tsunamis and volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest, thousands of earthquakes
- 28. Planning for Specific Disasters Winter Storms Heavy snowfall and extreme cold can immobilize an entire region. Even areas which normal experience mild winters can be hit with a major snow storm or extreme cold. The results can range form isolation to the havoc of cars and trucks sliding on icy highways.
- 29. Planning for Specific Disasters Power Outage Everyone experiences power interruptions from time to time. Unfortunately, many of these outages come at times of weather extremes or accompany various disasters. When the power is out we lose our primary source of artificial light and many loose their source of heat and water as well. When the power is out safety becomes a concern.
- 30. Planning for Specific Disasters Hazardous Materials As many as 500,000 products pose physical or health hazards and can be defined as hazardous materials. Accidents involving toxic substances have occurred in communities across the country. For example, tank cars containing toxic substances derailed and burned in Kentucky, forcing 7,500 area residents to evacuate. A train derailment near Marysville, Washington resulted in a hazardous materials fire and the evacuation of over 100 homes.
- 31. Planning for Specific Disasters Nuclear Power In the United States, nuclear power plants have been generating power for more than 35 years. Nuclear power plants operate in most states in the country and produce about 20% of the nations power. The Pacific Northwest has fixed nuclear power plants within its boundaries as well as several mobile nuclear power plants like ships and submarines and small non-power reactor sites
- 32. Three Ways to Purify Water In addition to having a bad odor and taste, contaminated water can contain microorganisms that cause diseases such as dysentery, typhoid and hepatitis. You should purify all water of uncertain purity before using it for drinking, food preparation or hygiene. There are many ways to purify water. None is perfect often the best solution is a combination of methods.
- 33. Three Ways to Purify Water Boiling Boiling is the safest method of purifying water. Bring water to a rolling boil for 3-5 minutes, keeping in mind that some water will evaporate. Let the water cool before drinking. Boiled water will taste better if you put oxygen back into it by pouring the water back and forth between two clean containers. This will also improve the taste of stored water.
- 35. Three Ways to Purify Water Disinfection You can use household liquid bleach to kill microorganisms. Use only regular household liquid bleach that contains 5.25% sodium hypochlorite. Do not use scented bleaches, color safe bleaches or bleaches with added cleaners. Add 16 drops of bleach per gallon of water, stir and let stand for 30 minutes. If the water does not have a slight bleach odor, repeat the dosage and let stand for another 15 minutes. If the water still does not have a slight bleach odor, DON’T DRINK IT The only agent used to purify water should be household liquid bleach. Other chemicals, such as iodine or water treatment products sold in camping or surplus stores that do not contain 5.25% sodium hypochlorite as the only active ingredient, are not recommended and should not be used
- 36. Three Ways to Purify Water Distillation Distillation involves boiling water and then collecting the vapor that condenses back to water. The condensed vapor will not include salt and other impurities. To distill, fill a pot halfway with water. Tie a cup to the handle on the pot’s lid so that the cup will hang right-side-up when the lid is upside-down (make sure the cup is not dangling into the water) and boil the water for 20 minutes. The water that drips from the lid into the cup is distilled.

- Business throughout the Pacific Northwest are subject to a number of potential natural disasters such as fires, flooding, severe storms, earthquakes, dam failures, volcanic eruptions, landslides and manmade disasters. While we all hope that such occurrences never happen, it has been shown time and time again that being prepared for disasters is prudent.

In short, disasters make life very uncomfortable.
- Proper planning and preparation will help you and your coworkers be more comfortable in the event that your worksite is damaged or you can’t get back into it. Think of is as a “quality of life” issue. The most important concept in developing a work emergency preparedness plan is communication. Every member of the company needs to be involved so that when disaster strikes, everyone will know what to do. How well we manage the aftermath of disaster depends a great deal on your level of preparedness when disasters strike. In the following slides, we will cover a step-by-step process to disaster planning along with other essential information. We will need to build a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan. A plan will only be effective when everyone knows about it and agrees to operate within its guidelines.
- Ask what types of disasters are most likely to happen in your area? Snow / Cold Weather Earthquakes Fires Man Made Write answers on white board or flip chart Learn what warning signals are employed by your company What they sound like – Warble tone or the Emergency Broadcast alert that is sent out through the television What should be done when you here them – Follow directions of Supervisor Where to gather emergency information - Media – Radio - Dispatch How to help elderly or disabled persons, if needed – Special requirements may be needed if you encounter these individuals, additional resources may be needed.
- Having to survive under extreme conditions could be a result of many things. One thing we want to focus on is terrorism. Since September 11, we have lived under the constant threat of terrorism. Although not much has happened, it certainly has made us more aware of what goes on around us. Many Americans have fallen back into their daily rituals and feel that it won’t or can’t happen to them. I strongly feel that this is evading the truth. The 3000+ people in the World Trade Center did not expect to die. Something you may want to keep in mind is that terrorists have no time schedule. They will make their move when it is least expected. So what do you do to prepare? First, consider your location. Watch the news and decide if you are in a high-target area. Places such as New York and Los Angeles fit this description. If you are in a high-target area, you will need to do more in the way of preparation. Make sure you know what you have on hand for an extreme emergency. Keep an inventory and update it regularly. Food and water are the most important, followed by shelter, temperature comfort, and appropriate clothing. Be ready to leave town if it is necessary. Have a plan for your worksite and family. Set up a central location where you all can meet in the event of an emergency. Quickly assess whether you have to leave town, or if you can safely stay and wait it out.
- Go beyond your normal daily activities and frequently practice what you intend to do during a disaster. Just as your business changes day-to-day, so should your plan. There are many ways to help you prepare like asking what ifs. Coordinate and practice evacuation and other emergency plans with your coworkers at your facility. Include preparedness training in new employee orientation programs. Do tabletop exercises with members of the emergency management team. Meet in a conference room setting to discuss individual responsibilities and how each would react to emergency scenarios. Practice evacuating and sheltering. Have all personnel walk the evacuation route to a designated area where procedures for accounting for all personnel are tested. Practice your "shelter-in-place" plan. Evaluate and revise processes and procedures based on lessons learned in training and exercise. Keep training records.
- Disaster and emergency kits are tools that are going to help you maximize your comfort level in times of emergency. What are preparedness items? Emergency and disaster preparedness kits contain items like flashlights, candles, and solar powered radios. They provide you with light, heat, and communication. This affects where you are living for example. If you live in a large urban environment when a disaster hits your area, there is a greater chance that it will affect you directly because travel ability will be limited. Those who live in rural areas are somewhat sheltered just because of the location. But, that doesn’t mean that you are in the clear. If there is a disaster in a large city, where are those people going to go? Disaster and emergency preparedness kits contain items ranging from needles and thread to a workplace or family first aid kit, from matches to a camp stove. It's a good idea to keep your vehicles gas tank at least half full and keep some basic tools in the trunk. Being prepared both at your workplace and your home with items for emergency and disaster preparedness will surely minimize the impact of the situation. You will be better prepared and able to concentrate on helping others instead of seeking help. In effect you will be part of the solution not the challenge, additionally you could also participate in your local CERT program administered by your local fire departments.
- Show your personal kits as an example: Show kits displayed on table for all to walk by and see. Basic Supplies: Change for public phones Hiking Boots Water - Bottled Food - MRE’s (meals ready to eat) available at most surplus stores First Aid Kit Clothing for three days (min) Bedding – Sleeping bag Medications Tools – axe/shovel/flashlight/camping stove/ ect Hygiene products / toilet paper/toothpaste/soap/special items as needed Back pack / vehicle bag / duffle bag These items should be kept in your vehicle at all times and rotated at least every six months

- Store one gallon of water per person per day Have purifying agents available Store your water in thoroughly washed plastic, fiberglass or enamel-lined metal containers. Never use a container that has held toxic substances. Plastic containers, such as soft drink bottles, are the best/ You can also purchase food-grade plastic buckets or drums. Seal water containers tightly, label them and store in a cool, dark place. Replace every six months.
- A survival food supply with drinking water are the most vital necessities in the event of an emergency. Try to imagine what it would be like to live for a week without food or water. Could a situation of that magnitude really take place? Well, what about the Northridge earthquake in 1994, Hurricane Andrew, or September 11, 2001? All of these situations posed a serious threat to food and water supplies by severing normal supply lines. You may ask, “where do I start?” Take an inventory of all food items you have on hand. With a marker, date your canned food such as fruits and vegetables and pastas so that you can use the oldest ones first. This is the start to assembling a complete survival food storage program. Forecast the needs of your household based on what your family eats and begin adding them to your pantry.
- How many people are going to wait until the last minute to stock their pantry with a survival food supply or to fill their water barrels? Prepare for tomorrow with water storage, drinking water filters, and survival food supplies. Stocking up on these items is relatively simple major bulk food centers such as Sam’s Club, Costco, and Wal-Mart have made bulk buying a daily occurrence and simplified access to their centers. Who would get into their car and drive to New York right now without a Plan? Why do we have car insurance, home owners insurance, Dental, Medical, Vision, and Life insurance? In case we have an emergency that requires those services. Why? Because we are preparing for those types of emergencies if they happen! Why then would you not prepare for natural or manmade emergencies that you know could happen?
- Emergency supplies and your medical supply list. A medical supply list of emergency supplies and including first aid kits will insure that your family is prepared.
- Whether you are First Aid, CPR, AED, a First Responder, EMT or Paramedic, you need to have reliable equipment and supplies with you. Question to students: Ask your self this “Am I properly prepared” “Why?”
- Read Slide Discuss why each of these items are necessary – control the discussion
- Read slide Reiterate the need to be prepared
- There is probably no place in the world that's not at risk for some type of unexpected widespread emergency. A little common-sense planning can go a long way to minimize the adverse impact on your worksite and your family in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. The loss of the use of a flush toilet quickly demonstrates how much our civilized world depends on indoor plumbing. A major lesson from the recent disasters that have occurred around the world is as individuals, we must be prepared to survive on our own for at least the first three days after a disaster. Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services such as--water, gas, electricity or telephones--were cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. The one suggestion that I've never forgotten is to NEVER throw out an empty bleach bottle. They make great containers for storing water. Rinse out, fill with water, seal and label them, then store in a dark spot in your house. I always buy bleach in the largest container available, usually a one and a half gallon size. While you should replenish the water every six months, it's not hard to forget to do so. However it's easy to disinfect the water if you need it for drinking purposes.
- The important thing to remember is have the appropriate gear for the weather you may encounter
- Special needs extend beyond the physical person, don’t forget pets, elderly, children, etc.
- Again, take inventory of what you already have. Disaster and emergency preparedness kits will help you work toward the goal of complete preparedness. Your family needs to have a plan in the event of an emergency.
