First Aid kit

Create your own first aid kit using the following guideline. Keep items in a water-resistant, easy-to-access container (e.g. large, insulated lunch bag), and organized in zip-type plastic bags. If you prefer, you may choose from a selection of pre-assembled first aid kits for sale at your local pharmacy or department store. Be sure to include any medication commonly used by members of the household.
