First aid / Medical

Your first aid and medical preparedness needs are specific to you and your family.  Your planning should include:

1. Maintaining at least a 90-day supply of all important prescription medications for your family.
2. Maintaining at least a 90-day supply or all over-the-counter supplies and medications. (lip balm, petroleum jelly, sunscreen, lotion, vitamins, cold remedies, dental hygiene items, allergy meds, etc.)
3. Maintaining adequate first aid supplies.  The Mayo Clinic has an excellent list of suggested first aid supplies.  A link to that list is here.  This list is a good starting point – add and subtract from this list to create a first aid kit that works for your family.
