Going away to college can be an exciting time. Take a minute to make sure you have the proper first aid and emergency preparedness supplies, so you can take control of any emergency situation that may present itself.
A school first aid kit should be filled with the same items you would find in a family or home first aid kit, such as topical and antiseptics, aspirin and non-aspirin medications, bandages, dressings, tape, compresses and more to make sure you are prepared for the unexpected. First aid is definitely a big part of disaster planning, but being prepared for any type of situation can also help you or your student pull through a disaster event. Student emergency packs should include items such as ponchos, hand warmers, light sticks and blankets, high calorie bars, face masks and sanitizing gel, so you are ready for the unexpected.
Since space is usually of a premium in dorm rooms, student housing and apartments the kits we offer feature a compact size so they can easily be stashed in a closet or cabinet or under a bed. Secure closure on the kits keep supplies in place and tidy, but still allows for effortless opening and closing. Items are clearly labeled so you can find what you're looking for and take care of the task at hand. Make sure to periodically check your first aid kit for school to make sure used or expired items are replaced so that your kit is ready to go should you need it.
