What does an evacuation kit include that a first aid kit does not?
Evacuation kits include items for supporting evacuees during extended outdoor assembly - foil blankets for warmth, high-visibility items for marshalling, and communication aids. Standard first aid kits focus on injury treatment. The evacuation kit addresses the welfare needs that arise when people are assembled outdoors for extended periods.
Where should I store the evacuation kit?
Position near the building exit used by the designated evacuation officer, ideally on a hook or shelf that is passed during evacuation. The kit must be accessible during evacuation without diverting from the exit route. Label clearly with high-visibility markings.
