Why would every major bank need survival kits for all their employees? Why is the US government prepared to spend up to $200,000 on survival kits for bank employees at Bank of America, American Express Bank, BMO Financial Corp., Capitol One Financial Corporation, Citigroup, Inc., JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, just to name a few? What do they know that we do not know?
Perhaps they are preparing for bank runs and employees to be forced to shelter in place?
These kits would include:
• Waist fanny-pack or backpack (all of the items below must fit in the fannypack/backpack)• 2400-calorie food bar (minimum 5-year shelf life)• 3-pack 8.5 oz. water (minimum 5-year shelf life)• 50 water purification tablets (minimum 5-year shelf life)• Reusable solar blanket 52” x 84”• Dust mask• One-size fits all poncho with hood• 12 hr. light stick• 1 pair of latex gloves• Whistle with lanyard

As is mentioned by the Free Beacon, "Contracts for survival kits are usually made for the military, or law enforcement such as the FBI," which brings about the major question of what do they expect to happen where these employees would need survival kits?
