TextNational Preparedness Month: Workplace Preparedness
Is your workplace prepared for a disaster?
Here’s your daily tip for National Preparedness Month:
Like individuals, workplaces should all have site-specific emergency plans. Ask your employer about the plans and procedures in the event of an emergency.
Some things to consider include building escape routes, sheltering in place plans, communications plans, and teleworking policies during an emergency.
