31 Days of Emergency Preparedness {First Aide}
This is above and beyond band-aids and Tums. Most of this you probably already have on hand. It would be a good idea to put it all in one location.
While those things are great, we have prepped items, that 18 months ago, I would have said you crazzzeeee….
A few things I recommend for basic care:
.
I was able to buy a this online at Drugstore.com with our FSA insurance card.
I was also able to use our card for bandages, gauze, and tape etc. Drugstore.com actually has a tab that says FSA so it makes it easy peasy to find the approved items.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, starting in January I won’t be able to use the FSA card for these items, so I am stocking up now.
- You want to add N95 masks and sterile gloves to this list.
- Does anybody have allergies? Make sure to have extra epi-pens on hand.
- Extra contact supplies and even an extra pair of glasses.
- Medications. Prescription and pain relievers.
- Burn ointment
- Triple antibiotic ointment
- Thermometer
- Anti diarrheal’s
- TUMS
- Alka Seltzer
- Prilosec
- Pedialyte
- Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
- Itch Cream
- Hydrogen Peroxide
- Rubbing Alcohol
- Epi Pens
- Snake Bite Kit
- Bee Sting Kit
- Dent Temp for loose filings
- Tweezers
- Sun Screen
- Quick Clot
- Vinyl Gloves
This list is a minimum of what to have on hand.
There are antibiotics you can prep. The ones for fish are the same as for people. I won’t go into details here, but let you do your own research.
These are 2 books I recommend also.
With any books I have listed in this series I recommend a hard copy to add to your library.
This list is minimal on what to have on hand, in my opinion.
What would you add?
Which two books do you recommend ? I am loving this series, Thanks!
