I know of one person who has to dress up to go to work. She wears high heels and dresses most of the time. This woman not only has a mini-kit at work and in her car, she keeps a jogging suit (with long sweatpants, heavy socks, tee shirt, long sleeved sweatshirt), athletic shoes and gloves and of all things, a hard hat, in her locker at work. Her thinking is that if she is trapped at work during an earthquake, she would do well to have these items to change into if she had to make her way out of the building. These clothing items, gloves and hard hat would protect her legs, arms, hands and head from debris and broken glass better than stockings and dresses. Why does she think this? She was trapped inside her office once before from an earthquake and to pass the time made a list of what she wanted to have the most. Those items are included in my list above.
