Apple Earthquake Survival Kit
The Apple Earthquake Survival Kit from 1986 gave critical safety instructions to employees — and it could probably still be used for advice today.
“If you live in California, you will probably experience a major earthquake during your lifetime,” the document says. “Preparing today for such a disaster could save your life, and the lives of your family and the other people around you.”
The kit involves a compilation of recommendations outlining the dos and don’ts to follow during an ongoing earthquake. For example, it recommends choosing a place to take cover before an earthquake hits and making a reunification plan for family members.
The useful manual contains practical instructions that remain relevant and applicable to this day. While it remains uncertain whether this is the sole survival kit produced by Apple, it’s possible that the company still releases survival instructions for employees, such as the earthquake guide’s advice to “Take an earthquake safety training course at the Fitness Center.”
