A.D.A.P.T Emergency Preparedness Tips

In addition to a robust first aid supply kit, be sure to also include emergency phone numbers, including contact information for your family doctor and
pediatrician, local emergency services, emergency road service providers, and the poison help line, which in the United States is 800-222-1222.

The full first aid kit handout list can be found here: https://www.getreadyatherton.org/jan-2-2021-meetingA well-stocked first-aid kit can help you respond effectively to common injuries and emergencies. Keep at least one first-aid kit in your home and one in your car. Store your kits someplace easy to get to and out of the reach of young children. Make sure children old enough to understand the purpose of the kits know where they’re stored.
