Natural disasters, warfare and accidents occur any time. Being prepared for emergencies can reduce injury and death. An emergency has no set time. A long-term first aid kit preps for various situations. Store the emergency kit in a cool, dry place. Everyone in the house needs to know where the kit is. The kit should be reachable to everyone. Keep any vital health items inside. For example, keep insulin inside for diabetics. Use an airtight container to hold the contents. Put an envelope with cash inside. Educate all able household members what to do in an emergency and basic first aid practices.
Instructions
1. Clean the container with soap and water. Dry completely. Water droplets ruin bandages.

Put the wipes, rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer and hydrogen peroxide in a separate plastic bag. Close bottles tightly to prevent leakage. Close the bag tightly, and set the bags in the container. Close the container tightly and set it inside the large bag.
