opener, and sufficient water for two weeks will be good preparation for most
disasters. According to the American Red Cross, a sensible guide to how
much water is needed is one gallon per person per day.
Consider investing in a solar-powered or hand-cranked radio. If the
electricity is out for several days, this device allows listeners to get news up-
dates on the situation and disaster relief efforts. An emergency response kit
should also include several flashlights and batteries.
Emergency response allows people to act quickly and without panicking
should an emergency occur. Knowing that plans have been made and sup-
plies arranged can help take considerable worry and fear out of the process.
By following emergency response procedures and listening carefully for
any contact or orders from emergency personnel, you can ensure a better
chance of safety and survival in any situation.
MALABO FIRE DEPARTMENT RECEIVES SUPPORT
FROM PUNTA EUROPA
In recent years, the city of Malabo has undergone rapid growth and de-
velopment. Urban areas are becoming more crowded, and high-rise residen-
tial and commercial buildings are being built in Malabo Dos.
With this growth and new construction comes an increased risk of
fires, which has stretched the capacity of the Malabo Fire Department
(MFD). As a result, the MFD occasionally requests support from the Punta
Europa Fire Departments, which creates operational risk for the Punta Europa
entities.
To help develop modern fire-fighting capability for Malabo, Marathon
Equatorial Guinea Production Limited (MEGPL) has partnered with the
MFD to perform a comprehensive needs assessment of current equipment
and training. The enhanced ability to fight fires in Malabo will help not only
the local community, but also Punta Europa employees and their families.
Industrial Emergency Services (IES), a global fire safety and training
company that also operates fire services for MEGPL and AMPCO, was con-
tracted to do the baseline assessment.
The assessment began with tours of Malabo, Malabo Dos and sur-
rounding communities to assess fire risk, vehicle access and water supplies.
Next, IES and the MFD held detailed discussions to determine what equip-
ment and training is needed to better prepare the MFD to protect the Malabo
community from fire.
IES is conducting the assessment for free as part of its corporate social re-
sponsibility program, but working with the MFD has deeper significance for
IES.
