Here is another video in the Series on Disaster Preparedness. In this video I go over the Basic First Aid supplies that you should put into your ...

What should I put in my family's First Aid kit? I think it would be safer and smart to have a disaster/First Aid kit in case of an emergency, but I can't really think of what to pack. Can you help me?

Assorted bandaids-big, small, finger, toes, blister bandages, rubbing alcohol, a cold pack, a sling, insect bite treatment, honestly, just go buy the $25.00 one at Walgreens, it has everything you need. Buy more bandaids if you have small kids though. And god forbid not just the regular old ones!

Price: $16.81 $9.40

They have a 5 year shelf life and are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Ingredients: Wheat Flour, Vegetable Shortening, Cane Sugar, Water, Coconut, and Salt. Vegan and Vegetarian friendly.
Each package contains 18 individually wrapped bars containing 200 calories each -- this prevents the loss of food by not having to break pieces off

I'm currently revamping my first aid/survival kit that I've been ignoring for a long while now; I'd thought I'd best check up on what I do and do not have in stock, with all the natural disasters of late, I want to be as prepared as I can.
I've noticed that some of my 'sterile' bandages have 'wet' blotches from the adhesive portion. Are they still considered safe to use?

They should have an expiration date on them, but if you need them for emergency purposes, it is better to use them then some unsterilized cloth.

water
flashlight system
emergency radio system
extra clothing and blankets PRN
first aid kit with n95 masks
Fire extinguisher

Home Emergency Kit
Water sufficient for animal, people
Bleach for foraging for fresh-ish water
MRE style food
Pet food
Canned heat and cooking pot for boiling water
Flashlights
Chem sticks
Hygiene items
Emergency toilet preparations
Extra clothes, extra blankets
Emergency radio
Stored in food-safe containers (can be used to store potable water in eme)
plastic sheeting, duct tape
n95 masks
Shovel, work gloves

I'm looking for a more complete list, or for suggestions.

* Protein/Granola Bars
* Trail Mix/Dried Fruit

Bedding and Clothing

* Change of Clothing (short and long sleeved shirts, pants, jackets, socks, etc.)
* Undergarments

Notes:

1. Update your 72 Hour Kit every six months (put a note in your calendar/planner) to make sure that: all food, water, and medication is fresh and has not expired; clothing fits; personal documents and credit cards are up to date; and batteries are charged.
2. Small toys/games are important too as they will provide some comfort and entertainment during a stressful time.
3. Older children can be responsible for their own pack of items/clothes too.
4. You can include any other items in your 72 Hour Kit that you feel are necessary for your family's survival.
