In addition to the emergency unit supply box, each unit
should identify and ensure access to the following emergency
supplies and equipment. Most of these items are probably
already in the building for use in normal cleaning,
but janitorial staff often secure them. So it is important
to establish their location and maintain access to them.
1. Portable electric fans. To create air circulation, speed drying, and inhibit the formation of mold.
2. Wet-dry vacuum. To vacuum up small amounts of standing water quickly.
3. Mops and buckets. To keep work areas clean and dry.
4. Floor squeegee. To control the flow of water on the floor.
5. Garbage containers. To deposit and remove wet paper towels and other discarded materials.
