Organization

Identify and secure before any packing activities begin:

• Place to which materials will be moved (air drying location, freezer, storage).
• Packing area, with room to sort and pack materials.
• Loading area, accessible to vehicles bringing supplies and removing packed boxes.
• Route by which materials will be removed from the building.
• Means for moving packed boxes. Elevators may not be functioning, and electricity may be a problem. Consider pulleys, conveyor belts, and cranes.
• Rest area for workers, with refreshments and, if necessary, portable toilets.
• Transportation to freezer or freeze-dryer.
