"I am a NYC
cliff dweller who wants to make a safe room in apt. Supplies will be in the
room but some will need electricity (back-up generator) and mostly if the
room is correctly sealed, how does one breathe and for how long? Along with
business, plain folk need equipment, especially in heavy urban cities. What
do I need?
Thank you for your attention and help,"
This is a sample of the e-mail we receive on a daily basis.
At the very least we can help you get 'Chemical
Protection Tape' that meets NIOSH requirements, rather than duct tape.
The recent Staten Island gas barge explosion, the "Fire in the Hole" in
Baltimore (tank cars smoldered for days), and of course the heightened
terrorist alerts, have caused us all to think harder about our safety.
What do we recommend for the City, (and) Staten Island,
Westchester, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens? And any place else where
railroads, Interstate Highways, and truck containers are likely to travel?
Let's parse this requirement into 3 parts for the
"cliff-dweller"; at work, your
commute, at home.
At work:
Personal First Aid Kit-Flashlight
At work you have limited storage available to
you-you must 'trust' your employer to provide some basic shelter supplies -
Please make them aware- we have supply kits for all sizes of business, too.
Rescue Hood
Snacks and Water
Commuter :
Rescue Hood
You are most exposed on your daily commute. We
provide a sling carry kit to hold all your essentials, it fits in the car
trunk, or can be carried on the subway.
Personal First Aid Kit - Flashlight
Fanny Pack with Snacks and Water
Home
NBC Shelter
Stored under the couch, with pre positioned swag
hooks installed in your ceiling, here is a powered portable safe-room,
complete with a UPS good for 10 hours, a power strip so that
computers, portable phones, TV's and radios can operate. Attach to swag
hooks, toss in bedding and pillows (don't forget the portable TV) and you
are set. Once inside, you will not have to leave until the all clear is
given. This could be up to 3 or 4 days later. You supply cushions, TV, and
install the swag hooks.

Escape Hoods
If you must evacuate- the only way,
Are you saying that you recommend 3 Escape Hoods: one for work, one that you
carry with you and one at home? - YES
