The Emergency Preparedness Guide for Transit Employees on the Job and at Home, prepared by the Federal Transit Administration and the National Transit Institute, is a resource document for transit agencies. It provides suggested guidance for transit employees’ emergency preparedness at home as well as at work. It also includes information on how employees can cope with an emergency while still allowing the effective fulfillment of their duties. The intent is that transit agencies will embrace the suggestions in this resource document, particularly those that apply to personnel preparedness. Recent history has reminded us that no region of our country is safe from all hazards and we all need to do what we can to ensure the safety of our families and loved ones.
