An emergency first aid kit should be and contain a variety of basic supplies that will enable you to handle the most typical, non-life threatening injuries. You can either purchase a pre-assembled first aid kit, or create your own.

This is essential to survival. Quite helpful and attention-getting. Thanks for the exposition of unexpected events and how we must react to them.

Sorta like seeing a big bear with cubs then camping 3 hours walking distance away thinking your safe. Later on the caves your right on that you'd be better off building a diving bell. LOL!

@USASuperior Lol, I wouldn't take my chances in a cave in any situation! I am simply to afraid that the only way out, would close up! All of the caves I have been in, and I have been deep in some, are very scary when the lights go out...

I designed a program called NREP Neighborhood Risk Education Program. It is designed for FEMA CERT teams and Red Cross DAT teams to teach to their neighbors. I also teach Masters of Disaster childrens course for my community for free. Currently holding monthly courses at our local rec center. I also am a disaster Administrator with the Red Cross and train FEMA CERT teams as a volunteer. I like this vid and give it 5/5.

The best way to prepare for a natural disaster is to live in a cave - underground.
