Your first aid and medical preparedness needs are specific to you and your family. Your planning should include:
- Maintaining at least a 90-day supply of all important prescription medications for your family.
- 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.)
- 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.
