In a medical emergency, a family emergency kit should prioritize items that address basic life support and wound care. Essential items include:

  1. First aid kit with bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any prescription medications.
  2. Water (at least 1 liter per person per day) and non-perishable food.
  3. Important medications and medical equipment (e.g., EpiPen, inhalers).

This kit can help manage minor injuries and stabilize patients until medical help arrives.

In any emergency, staying calm and prepared can save lives. I always tell my family to keep a simple survival kit ready: a first aid kit, essential medicines, water, non-perishable food, a flashlight with extra batteries, a power bank, a whistle, important documents, and a list of emergency contacts. Everyone should know how to use these items. Most importantly, I remind them: protect the airway, check breathing, stop bleeding, and then call for help. Being prepared is the first step to staying safe.
