I’ll explain why, even if they don’t make into our short term DIY disaster kit. Consider putting a bottle or two in your kit. If you have the space, a hand-pump spray bottle or fold-up solar shower will come in handy. Encourage the patient to lean forward, you now will need to give 5 back blows in the centre of the back, between the shoulder blades. If you are on grass or sod, cut the sod and lay it back, you’ll use it later; set the evacuated dirt to one side. My child was injured at school, not one teacher had First Aid/ CPR training. These healthcare units are checked for quality standards and ability to deliver such a training which requires tools and trained doctors who will impart training. Now, do not expect your telemarketing representatives to close the deals by making these calls since in most cases your prospects will not be ready to make a purchase yet.

Get ready to make yourself more efficient and helpful through CPR certification available at affordable rates. In order to be ready and equipped for such situations, you might also want to do a certification course and become a first aider. If you are forced to camp in an unimproved area, you will want to dig a slit trench of disposal of human waste. If you live in a very bug/mosquito prone area, a headnet and square of bug screen are a big plus. Lip balm and sun screen. If you cook your food, disposal of the wash water (and food scraps) will quickly become an issue as well. Being clean isn’t about smelling bad, it is a health issue. Garbage is an attractant for animals and can pose a health hazard. Human waste must be deposed of properly – it poses a tremendous health hazard. MSDS – Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) must be available for any product, substance or chemical employees work with including first aid remedies.

The U.S. Army has a manual, FM 21-10 (Or FM 4-25-12) should you wish to look at how the Big Army covers this – unfortunately, almost none of the material is of use for a small family or individual. If you are on the move, you can dig a fast ‘cat hole’ to bury your waste in a individual basis. Brushing your teeth is not just polite, it can prevent larger medical problems, so pack a toothbrush and toothpaste or toothpowder for each member of your group. Toothbrush and toothpaste or tooth powder – good dental hygiene is important. Personal hygiene is important, no matter your circumstances. Personal items and equipment. A common action taken for the patient, for example, is that of personal hygiene, whether it is bathing, shaving, combing of the hair, make-up applications, or other normally personal activities. If you do not have access to a cesspit or outdoor toilet, you will need to dig your own latrine or slit trench for human waste. It will be the opinion of the jury whether or not you acted responsibly. Insect repellant – bugs will drive you crazy and some carry disease. This helps to keep it out of the local watershed and reduces the spread of disease.

Lightning fast and virulent, it spread to every Haitian state, erupting into the world’s largest cholera epidemic despite a huge international mobilization still dealing with the effects of the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake. In 17 months cholera had killed more than 7,050 Haitians and sickened more than 531,000, or 5 percent of the population. Simple – During the response to the Haiti earthquake, a single response team from Nepal started a cholera outbreak – from their toilet faculties leaking into the Meye river. A simple wide driving mirror is safer than a convex mirror, which distorts distances and thereby makes judgment of speeds more difficult. In the case of your DIY disaster kit, a simple inspection to ensure the food container has not been breached should be enough. Hand sanitizing gel – several small bottles are better than one large container. Pile the dirt at one end to cover your waste after using the facility. I recently had an African Grey here for boarding (one of the babies I had raised) and Derron was in the office working and sneezed and the African Grey promptly replied with a ‘bless you’. If you are forced to bury your trash, dig a deep pit and cover the garbage as it is pitted.
