An emergency can strike at anytime. It's therefore essential that every person, household, and workplace have emergency kits, along with enough food and water to last at least 3 days.
In your workplace
Many workplace first aid kits are incomplete, with inconsistent quantities and outdated or missing items. This can result in poor-quality supplies, disorganised kits, and a lack of readiness for emergencies.
In your school
Think of the safety and well-being of students, staff, and visitors during emergencies. Civil defence kits in schools and being prepared with the right supplies can make a critical difference.
In your vehicle
An emergency kit can provide the tools and supplies needed to address a variety of situations, from providing first aid after an accident to ensuring you’re visible and safe on the roadside while waiting for assistance.
