Inside an Emergency Kit
An emergency kit contains many of the same items as a first-aid kit, but should include additional items for surviving during natural disasters or evacuations:
Contents should include: antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment, variety of bandages, adhesive bandages, knuckle and fingertip bandages, water, storage bag, food bars, AM/FM radio, flashlight, batteries, body warmers, ponchos, whistle, light stick, sanitary napkins and a backpack.
“You’ll want to personalize emergency kits with products like baby items, medication and even a spare set of eyeglasses,” said Corrin Ruggiero, preparedness specialist with American Red Cross of the Susquehanna Valley. Update the kit periodically as medical needs change.
