Rally Points

Choose a specific point for all staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to meet in the event of an evacuation. This is your Rally Point. When evacuating, it is vital that everyone be accounted for. Make sure everyone knows this location, and if possible, mark it with a sign.

Remember:

  • Designate – choose a safe spot
  • Indicate – clearly mark the spot
  • Communicate – share with everyone the location and purpose of the spot

Your Rally Point can also be a good place to assemble for non-emergency purposes, such as field trips. Rally your team behind having a safe Rally Point!

On-site Supply Caches

Create or update an onsite cache of emergency preparedness supplies. Consider the size and diversity of your staff, volunteers, clients and potential visitors. Remember to consider special needs additions such as medication. Store these supplies in multiple locations so if one cache becomes unusable or unreachable, you will still have options. The supply cache complements your agency go-kit. Some basic contents of an on-site supply cache are:

  • Water
  • Food
  • First aid supplies
  • lights/Flashlights
  • Radio(s)
  • Batteries
  • Whistles
  • Blankets
  • Garbage Bags
  • Duct Tape
