April: First Aid & Medical

When disaster strikes, medical responders may not be able to get to you for a while. You want to have basic life-saving medical supplies on hand and know how to use them. The first aid supplies you put together will be determined in part by your level of training.

Activity

There are two main tasks this month:

  1. Keep a first aid kit that reflects your training and skills. You can buy a ready-made kit from a reputable provider like MyMedic or Adventure Medical Kits or build your own using our gear list.

  2. Get some training. Be sure to take a CPR/AED class from the Bainbridge Island Fire Department and a Bainbridge Prepares Stop the Bleed class.

Prize

Your submission will be entered in a drawing to win the April prize: A waterproof mini first aid kit.
