First aid kits are one of the few items you buy, hoping you’ll never need them. However, when an emergency arises and you can’t get medical attention right away, you’ll be glad to have a first aid kit within arm’s reach.
Harbor Freight sells a 10-person first aid kit complete with wound gel, alcohol pads, a trauma pad, burn creams, antibiotic ointments, gloves, paper tape, and a variety of bandages in different sizes, among other items. The kit comes in a compact, hard-shell, airtight case. Inside you’ll find multiple compartments to keep its contents organized and make it easy to find what you’re looking for. There’s also a first aid guide where you can include emergency numbers like your primary physician, pharmacy, hospital, police department, fire department, and poison control.
This small, lightweight first aid kid is a good addition to your hurricane preparedness kit. While it’s no substitute for professional medical attention, it can help to bridge the gap until help arrives.
