First Aid Kits


First Aid is simple medical treatment that corrects minor problems and addresses major problems until advanced treatment can be given. By attending a first aid class, you can learn how to handle common problems like scrapes and bruises as well as temporary treatment for situations like heart attacks and major bleeding.

Assemble a first aid kit so that you will have all of your emergency supplies stored together. Consider keeping a first aid kit in the trunk of each of your vehicles. This way, if you become stranded or are not able to return home, you will have needed items until help arrives. Keep the items in your first aid kit in airtight plastic bags. This will protect them from damage and spoiling.

If you choose to purchase a first aid kit rather than assembling your own, consider supplementing it with items that reflect the special needs of your family’s situation. Ask your physician or pharmacist about storing prescription medications. It may be difficult to obtain prescription medications during a disaster as stores may be closed or supplies limited. Consider including age specific items, such as diapers for small children or special medical items, like inhalers, needed by members of your family.

Rethink your family’s needs at least once a year. Your first aid kit should change to reflect your family’s situation. Replace batteries and perishable items regularly.

This list of suggestions should be personalized to your family’s needs. It is best to start with items you may have on hand, and add gradually to your family kit.
