Bomb threat procedure

More commonly, bomb threats are received over the phone. When this occurs, the person taking the call should try to give someone nearby a note about the call and ask him or her to call the local emergency number or the business¡¦s security number.

The first 5 things you should do after an earthquake

Although earthquakes are largely unexpected in nature, aftershocks are not. If there is one thing predictable about an earthquake, it’s that there will be aftershocks, perhaps many of them, some of which will be strong enough in nature to make an already tenuous situation even worse. Preparation and education on what to do in the event of an earthquake is key to helping one survive one of the most destructive forces known to humankind. Although the list of things to do following an earthquake can be quite lengthy and varied, there are five important things that everybody should learn in order to increase their chances of surviving the cataclysmic event. 1. A head count should be performed immediately following an earthquake. Whether you are in your office or at home, a head count should be conducted in order to establish whether or not everyone is accounted for and to determine if someone is missing and needs assistance. 2. Check yourself and others for possible injuries. The majority ...

Recycling: Are You Building A Wall?

Americans throw away enough paper in a year to build a wall 12 feet high from New York City to Los Angeles. This fact is from earth911.org, a public service Website that focuses on recycling issues. Now that’s a lot of paper! Despite the hype that computer makers fed us a few years ago, the computer has NOT decreased the paper used in most offices today. According to the U.S. Conference of Mayors Clean Your Files Day Program, the average citizen uses 1 ½ pounds of paper per day. The average office employee uses 10,000 sheets of paper per year according to the Environmental Defense Fund. Now that’s just the figures on paper. What about the ink cartridges and cell phones that are tossed into landfills each year. No matter how you slice it, recycling today is big business. Whether it’s glass, paper, plastic, steel, ink cartridges, computers, magazines, cardboard boxes, cell phones or another material, recycling products reduces waste and cost, and saves energy and resources. So why isn’t ...

The Global Warming Cult – back to paganism and onwards to higher taxes of course

Image
The Europeans in their desire to be relevant on the world stage, have erected some immoral and vicious philosophies. Fascism, Communism, Socialism and post modern nonsense and dialecticism exemplified by the Useless Nations, as well as other cults of utopian fantasy are obvious examples. Like its cousin the current Eco-fascist Global Warming cult is premised on non-scientific data; a belief in an all knowing kind technocratic elite that will lead the group; a belief in a new world order; a hatred of modernity; a hatred of capitalism; a hatred of US inspired liberalism and a disdain for work, ethics, virtue and reality. The Eco-fascist cult is nothing more than a sick offering of left over philosophical food, cooked with rancid Marxism, coated with moral superiority complexes, sprinkled with non-scientific platitudes, and garnished by an self-adoring elite who just can’t get enough of their own importance. Eco-cultism and the Global Warming baloney is another sad example of the Euro-tra...
