Quick Overview

The Mayday Deluxe Office Emergency Kit is a 20-person, 72-hour shelter-in-place system that provides life support, incident command, first aid, and field sanitation capabilities for office personnel when evacuation is unsafe or untenable.

This kit is organized into eight operational groups covering all critical functions of a sustained shelter-in-place deployment. Group 1 provides incident command and communications capability through a bullhorn, solar dynamo radio, and metal whistles. Group 2 covers search, rescue, and utility control including a pry bar, survival shovel, and a 4-in-1 gas and water shut-off tool restricted to authorized personnel. Groups 3 and 4 address medical readiness and sustenance, with trauma dressings, splints, burn gels, 20 food bars rated at 2,400 calories each, and 120 water pouches rationed at 800 calories and approximately 25 ounces per person per 24-hour period.

Shelter, sanitation, and environmental protection are addressed in Groups 5 and 6. The kit includes 20 solar blankets, 20 adult ponchos, an 18-by-24-foot vinyl tarp, plastic sheeting, a pop-up privacy cabana, a folding port-a-pottie, and bio-blue toilet chemicals for field sanitation. Group 7 provides lighting through dynamo flashlights, a D-cell flashlight, and 12 light sticks, while Group 8 supplies 12 pairs of heavy-duty work gloves and 100 vinyl gloves for PPE during rescue and medical operations.

The kit is housed in a wheeled, mobile container weighing approximately 165 pounds and requires a minimum two-person move. Readiness depends entirely on a documented inspection protocol: quarterly checks cover accessibility, container integrity, electronics function, and documentation, while semi-annual inspections add a full consumables expiration review with mandatory replacement orders for any item expiring within 12 months.

Field Application Steps

1. SECURE AND DEPLOY THE CONTAINER: Assign two personnel to move the wheeled container from its designated storage location to the center of the assembly area. Confirm all 20 personnel are accounted for before proceeding.

2. ESTABLISH COMMAND AND CONTROL: Open the container and designate an incident leader immediately. Use the bullhorn to establish order and issue initial instructions, then assign three key roles: First Aid Lead, Logistics and Supply Lead, and Security Lead.

3. CONDUCT TRIAGE AND INITIATE FIRST AID: The First Aid Lead establishes a casualty collection point and performs a rapid assessment of all personnel. Don vinyl gloves for body substance isolation, prioritize major bleeding control first, and utilize the trauma dressings, surgipads, splints, and burn gels as injuries indicate.

4. SECURE THE ENVIRONMENT: The Security Lead uses caution tape to cordon identified hazards including broken glass and unstable furniture. If a utility leak is confirmed and a trained, authorized person is present, deploy the 4-in-1 gas and water shut-off tool to secure affected lines.

5. ESTABLISH SANITATION AND SHELTER: The Logistics Lead directs setup of the privacy cabana and port-a-pottie in a downwind location. Distribute solar blankets and ponchos to personnel as needed for warmth and environmental protection.

6. INVENTORY SUPPLIES AND IMPLEMENT RATIONING: The Logistics Lead conducts a full inventory of all eight equipment groups and secures food and water under controlled access. Issue rations at 800 calories (one-third of one food bar) and 6 water pouches per person per 24-hour period, and begin monitoring the dynamo radio on NOAA frequencies for official emergency broadcasts.

7. TRANSITION TO SUSTAINED OPERATIONS: Distribute light sticks or flashlights as darkness approaches, maintaining no-spark lighting protocols in any area with potential gas exposure. Maintain a written log of all events, supplies consumed, and patient status changes throughout the operational period.
