This article highlights the vulnerability of high-rise building residents to disaster situations and the importance of disaster preparations. It features an 18th-floor resident who has made herself as prepared as possible for a worst-case scenario. Her emergency preparations include food rations, fresh water, first aid kit, camping equipment, face masks, protective eyeglasses, vest, and hard hat. She recognizes that local government is unlikely to provide timely assistance in the event of a disaster and has equipped herself with the necessary resources to survive a disaster that may disrupt power and damage the entire high-rise building.
