Like so many of you, when the "Big" Power Outage of 2011 occurred I was at work. Luckily, the power was back on by the next day for everyone. For most it was only an inconvenience getting home and a great story the next day.
But, what if the power outage had been the result of a sizable earthquake? Many of us would have been stuck at work (3:30pm), and faced an even longer commute back home than what we faced that time. Others might be stuck at work.
What if the freeways were closed down? We've seen that happen in the past in Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
On Thursday, September 29th, 2011, the American Red Cross office in San Diego is hosting a "Lunch and Learn".
"We will provide you information on how to prepare your workplace for emergencies, what to do during a disaster, and how to ensure business continuity."Consider sending someone in your office to make sure you're all prepared, and if not, what needs to be done.
