Emergency Response Kit – For 25 Persons

This kit provides the essential supplies most needed for support in the first several hours after a severe emergency or disaster: emergency instructions, search and rescue supplies and tools, dust masks for easier breathing, first aid materials, water (5 year shelf life), and items that supply warmth, shelter, communication, light and sanitation. Kit comes in an airtight, 5 gallon bucket with zip seal lid for compact storage. The bright orange lid identifies the kit in an emergency and is tamper evident for security. With the snap-on toilet seat in place, the bucket also serves as an emergency toilet when working restroom facilities are not available. A document pouch is attached to the back of the container and can be easily removed for quick access to emergency instructions, response plans, class rosters, etc. Measures 15″ x 13-1/2″ x 13″ and weighs 23 lbs.

This compact kit is also the base for building a complete emergency preparedness solution for your school. One kit should be provided in each classroom with additional kits in other high traffic areas where students and staff congregate: libraries, cafeterias, gyms, auditoriums and offices. This kit is designed for schools using recommendations from leading disaster response organizations and meets the needs of 25 students and 1 teacher. In the event of a lockdown situation, the kit can be particularly helpful when students and staff cannot leave the classroom.
