Emergency Stop: First Aid Procedures

Emergencies can happen anywhere. That is why it is important to be as prepared as possible. One of the ways you can prepare for an emergency is to have a first aid kit. Think about some of the items that should be included in a typical first aid kit. Create a list of at least eight items that you believe should be in a first aid kit.

Once you have created your list, visit the American Red Cross website to review what this organization suggests people keep in their first aid kits. Compare the suggestions from the American Red Cross to your list and see how many similar items you included. Were there any important items you overlooked?
