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.
