ShareCompartir
Original creation date: October 1999
This 15-minute safety talk focuses on the content of emergency warning messages. Research has shown that when an emergency occurs, people often do not get the information they need for the purpose of taking appropriate action. This safety talk presents a procedure, using mental cues that can be used by senders and receivers of emergency warnings. Graphics for use during the talk and references are included.
