Emergency preparedness practices are shown to reduce risks and improve survival rates across a range of crisis situations. When a disaster requires employees to evacuate their office, timely movement away from the at-risk location is key. When employees follow known evacuation routes, it helps them avoid delays caused by normalcy bias, the cognitive dissonance between what is familiar (and safe) and the new experience of a stressful emergency. When evacuation guidelines are clear and accessible, employees can regulate their emotions, act rationally, navigate dangers, and avoid panic.
Insite has designed a Rapid Resource Guide that provides users with simple instructions they need to maintain their safety during an emergency. These effective flip books are utilized by global companies, residential buildings, and even families. Just like airplane safety cards, simple images are coupled with limited text to provide easily digestible guidance for staff, residents, or security personnel to follow during emergency situations.
Guides are customized to match company emergency procedures with a clear map showing various routes to safety. Nearby locations or well-known destinations are included on these maps to assist users during their evacuation, so they follow the correct route and meet at the assigned congregation point.
For a range of security events, there are tab sections for rapid reference for each emergency procedure. These tabs are designed to give step-by-step guidance for scenarios like active shooter events, medical emergencies, natural disasters, or even threatening communications.
The front and back pages are customized to meet corporate brand guidelines, including background color, photos, and logos. The back page can be utilized for key contact information and additional messages to users.
Rapid Resources Guides are a simple effective life-safety tool and offer the additional benefit of helping users navigate threatening situations and other security issues.
