Summary
When an emergency strikes, it is important to be prepared. Make sure your first aid kit is stocked and ready to go.
Description
Even if you do not know how to use every item in it, it is important to keep a well-stocked first-aid kit in your home. No one plans to be in an emergency, but that is no reason not to prepare for one!
Tips
• It is simplest to begin with a purchased kit, which you can refill as needed by buying supplies in bulk.
• Look for lists online, like this one, for items to consider including.
• Include personal items, such as backups for medications that people in your household need.
• First-aid supplies can expire, so check your inventory periodically and replace them as needed.
• Find a first aid manual that works for you and store it with your kit.
• Label items clearly. It is easy to forget what is what, especially in a chaotic situation.
