Secure Facility:
Learn More About A Secure Facility

Every year severe emergencies and natural or man-made disasters disrupt hundreds of thousands of lives and impact tens of thousands of facilities. While none of us can predict when such disasters will occur, we all do have the power to choose how severely they might affect us.

You can help to keep your facility secure by preparing now to effectively respond to any emergency. The same principles and steps for preparedness apply whether your facility is a library, hospital, public building, retail store, college or university, manufacturing plant, distribution center, or any other building or building complex.

At LifeSecure™ we are dedicated to simplifying Emergency Preparedness – making it simple and easy to be prepared. You can start by learning the 3 Basic Emergency Preparedness Principles:

1) Prepare for All-Hazards
2) Prepare for 3-Days (72 hours)
3) Prepare for All-Places

Prepare for All-Hazards
Every facility should have an All-Hazards Emergency Plan in place for major emergencies and natural or man-made disasters. These emergencies may include:

All-Hazards preparedness means that how you prepare for one hazard is how you prepare for any other. This principle makes preparedness much more simple and attainable. You plan only once, and are able to use your plan to respond to all types of hazards.

Prepare for 3-Days
As help may not be immediately available in a crisis, the U.S. Government recommends that every facility have a plan to be self-sufficient for up to 3 days (72 hours). This requires having emergency water, food, first aid, shelter, warmth, communication, light, tools, and sanitation.

Prepare for All-Places
As one never knows when or where disaster will strike, your plans should include emergency kits and supplies for your facility and for staff who may travel as part of their duties.

All-Hazards Preparedness
“The all-hazards preparedness concept is simple in that how you prepare for one disaster or emergency situation is the same for any other disaster. You plan only once, and are able to apply your plan to all types of hazards.”

Preparation is simplified by the understanding that there is no need to prepare different kits for different emergencies. The best preparation involves simple planning and the preparation of basic supplies.

Simple planning takes into account a few different possibilities such as the need to stay in your facility or to leave and seek shelter elsewhere. To learn about how to make an emergency response plan, visit www.ready.gov or www.fema.gov/library/

Basic supplies important for any emergency include those that provide emergency water, food, first aid, shelter, warmth, communication, light, tools, and sanitation. Our unique Kits-that-Fit™ approach makes it easy to determine what supplies are right for your facility.

3-Day (72 Hour) Preparation
“If a disaster occurs in your community, local government and disaster-relief organizations will try to help you. But you need to be ready as well. Local responders may not be able to reach you immediately, or they may need to focus their efforts elsewhere. You may need to survive on your own for three days or more. This means having your own water, food and emergency supplies.”
Are You Ready? FEMA

Experts recommend that you be prepared to go it alone for up to three days. Because each facility’s emergency response plan varies to meet their specific needs, LifeSecure™ kits and supplies are designed in a modular fashion allowing simple customization and flexibility. This flexibility is an important part of our Kits-that-Fit™ approach.

If you are ready to pick the right solutions to supply your facility for up to 3 days or more, click here now.

All-Places Preparation
You can’t be sure where you will be when disaster strikes. This means that prudent preparation includes a plan and supplies for staff and visitors at your facility and for staff who may travel locally or out of town on business.

The needs of the people in your facility may vary somewhat from one situation to the next. That’s why LifeSecure™ has solutions for every environment and situation. Click here to find the right solution for you and the people you work with, wherever you are or they may be during the workday.
