Be Prepared for Disasters with Emergency Storage Cabinets

From violent volcanoes to terrifying twisters, you never know when disasters will strike. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) protects and serves Americans during emergencies. A significant part of their mission involves emergency preparedness.

Unfortunately, many individuals and companies remain complacent when it comes to emergency preparation. FEMA statistics show that up to 60 percent of Americans have not practiced what to do in a disaster. This is one reason that 40 percent of businesses never reopen after disaster strikes. In fact, only 29 percent of businesses are still operating two years after the disaster.

These alarming statistics should galvanize us into preparing for an emergency. Justrite emergency preparedness cabinets help ensure you are ready for disaster.

What Should Be Stored in Emergency Storage Cabinets?

Justrite supplies emergency cabinets to store safety and emergency equipment. This includes personal protection equipment (PPE) like hardhats, safety goggles and gloves. Luminous vests and flashlights are important in case of power loss.

Keep 2-way radios and/or walkie talkies for communication purposes when members of the group get separated. Locate emergency storage cabinets at different spots in your facility.

Accessible first aid materials enable treatment of injuries during an emergency. In the case of fire or chemical release, respirators can save lives.

Other suggested emergency supplies to store include batteries, food and water packs, spill kits, blankets, caution tape and basic tools.
