Once you have been called out, there are a number of things you need to do before proceeding to the RC:
- Communicate with your family and employer – tell them that the ESS plan has been activated and how you will maintain contact with them
- Dress casual and in layers – wear appropriate clothes for the job, season, and work
- Take your grab and go bag (See the Introduction to ESS course)
- Take a cell phone if you have one, wall/vehicle charger, and contact lists
- Bring ID – vest, hat, t-shirt, jacket, name tag, photo ID card (local and provincial or territorial)
