be prepared

the locals are either very well prepared for any contingency or a just like wearing brightly coloured safety equipment.

during my first day i got a thorough briefing on all the safety procedures and the location of all the civil defense equipment. i thought it a bit odd but it does provide a bit of piece of mind to working in a downtown hi-rise. now these kits aren’t the us standard cigar sized box of band-aids and aspirin. these large cabinets have food, water, blankets, sanitation, medical supplies, lights, water purification, rope, wrecking bar, axes, saws, tools, radios, etc. the boxes on top each have perishables for 5 adults for 3 days.

there is one of these on each floor.
