Family emergency box
What is an emergency box?
You may already have the beginnings of an emergency box at home somewhere, containing a first aid kit or torch. The box should be small enough to carry and be stored in a secure place that everyone in your family can find. The box should be maintained and checked regularly.
What should go in the emergency box?
- Details of any prescription medicines for the family.
- Telephone numbers, Insurance details and reference numbers for utility companies (see emergency contact sheet below)
- Toiletries
- An extra set of contact lenses or glasses
- First Aid Kit
- Battery powered radio, torch and extra batteries
- Notebook and pen/pencil
