Be Prepared for Everything this Summer.

Summer is the time for adventures and fun. Unfortunately that can lead to some sticky situations and injuries. For that reason it is important to have a first aid kit around when you need it.

(Always have one with you!)

If you want to purchase your own first aid kit you can call us at 603-624-4307.

You may also make your own. Some kits are designed for specific activities, such as hiking, camping or boating. Whether you buy a first aid kit or put one together, make sure it has all the items you may need. Include any personal items such as medications and emergency phone numbers or other items your health-care provider may suggest. Check the kit regularly. Make sure the flashlight batteries work. Check expiration dates and replace any used or out-of-date contents.

Here is a list of what the Red Cross recommends including in a first aid kit for a family of four.

It is also important to have a kit prepared for an emergency. If you don’t have an emergency supply kit now, but are looking to start one (good job!), here is a list of all the things you’ll need.

Whatever you’re doing this summer try to stay safe and remember to bring along your first aid kit on all your trips.
