Emergency Preparedness At Work

Emergency Preparedness at Work program will instruct you in life safety and life sustaining actions before, during, and following an earthquake. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has concluded that the 'Big One' will be the worst disaster in the United States since the Civil War. The Landers, California earthquake on June 28, 1992 measured 7.5 on the Richter scale. One person was killed and more than 350 were injured. Since then seismologists have warned us the big one has a 50-50 chance of occurring within the next 25 years. California is not the only earthquake prone area either. An estimated 44 of our 51 states are now considered to be earthquake prone. In fact, most parts of the world produce earthquake activity and it can happen anytime. This program is called 'Emergency Preparedness in the Workplace' and it will save lives and prevent injuries if the steps within the program are followed.
