Quick Overview

The Mayday Deluxe Office Emergency Kit (5 Person) is a shelter-in-place kit for a small office or workgroup of five, with food rations, water pouches, sanitation, light, "The Element" radio and a 123-piece first aid kit in one 5-gallon bucket.

The person in charge opens one container and gets the room organized. Food and water come as one ration and one water pouch 6-pack per person. A port-a-pottie with toilet liners and toilet chemicals keeps sanitation inside the office, and the bucket's lid doubles as a toilet seat. Light, the radio, solar blankets, a blue tarp, gloves and dust masks sit with the food and water.

Food and water: 5 x 2400 calorie food rations and 5 Mayday water pouch 6-packs (25 oz). Light: "The Element" NOAA/Solar/Dynamo radio, 4 x 12-hour light sticks, a 5-pack of candles and 50 waterproof matches. Protection: 5 solar blankets, an 8 x 10 blue tarp, 2 pairs of nitrile gloves, a pair of leather work gloves and 5 dust masks. Sanitation: 12 toilet liners, 5 moist towelettes and 50 germicidal tablets. Weight approx. 26 lbs, SKU MD13081.

Stage the bucket where the office manager and staff can reach it, inspect it on a set schedule, and check any dates printed on the components. Replace anything used or opened, and restock from the contents list before the lid goes back on.

Field Application Steps

1. STAGE THE BUCKET: Pick a spot in the office every staff member can reach, such as a supply closet or break room. At approx. 26 lbs, store it low and tell the whole workgroup where it sits.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the lid and match every item to the contents list by group: food and water, shelter and warmth, light and communication, first aid and protection, and sanitation and hygiene. Close the lid when every item is accounted for.

3. ASSIGN ROLES: Name the person in charge of the bucket and a backup. Walk the team through where the radio, the 123-piece first aid kit, the port-a-pottie and the candles sit.

4. GET LIGHT AND NEWS: When the building is closed off, open the bucket, charge "The Element" radio as its own directions describe, and tune in for instructions from local officials. Activate the 12-hour light sticks as their packaging directs.

5. WARMTH AND COVER: Hand each person a solar blanket and a dust mask. Lay out the 8 x 10 blue tarp where the team will rest.

6. SHARE FOOD AND WATER: Give each person one 2400 calorie food ration and one Mayday water pouch 6-pack. Open and use them following the directions printed on their packaging.

7. SET UP SANITATION: If the restrooms cannot be used, set up the port-a-pottie with a toilet liner and the toilet chemicals as their packaging directs. The bucket's lid also doubles as a toilet seat. Use the moist towelettes and germicidal tablets only as their packaging directs.

8. FIRST AID AND RESTOCK: For minor injuries, put on a pair of the nitrile gloves from the open bucket, open the 123-piece first aid kit and find the item by its name. Use it as its packaging and your training allow, call 911 in an emergency, and replace every item used.
