Maybe you have thought about outfitting your home for disaster. This is great. If more people would consider their homes to be safe havens that are prepared for disaster, the nation would react much better to things like hurricanes.

The home can be outfitted with a number of preps to assure you are prepared to react in disaster or accidents. One of the biggest things to have in your home is a quality first aid kit. Don’t just stop with a box full of bandages and medicines. Include plenty of rolled gauze and a tourniquet.

As for the bag itself, there are many types of pouches that can hold these items. I prefer something that carries well and hooks onto my molle webbing of multiple bags. This means I can take it with me. Look for a quality pouch that meets your needs and fits your system.

A trauma kit in the car is a very important part of being prepared for disaster.
