September, the National Preparedness Month, provides an opportunity to review and update your emergency action plans for both the workplace and home. Consider taking the following actions to prepare:

 

• Verify contact information:  ensure your emergency contact details and notifications are current.

• Review evacuation routes:  re-familiarize with evacuation routes and designated assembly and refuge points.

• Floor wardens:  know your floor wardens, or if you serve as a floor warden, review your responsibilities and procedures.

• Refresh preparedness kits:  check expiration dates, restock or replace any depleted items.
