December 19, 2008, Newsletter Issue #20: First Aid Emergencies on the Road
Tip of the Week
First aid emergencies can happen at home or on the road. Being prepared means being ready to deal with such an emergency in any setting. This is especially important for people and families who travel a lot. It is not, however, exclusive to this group of people.
It is common to have roadside kits in your car with flares, tire sealant, maps, etc. You never know when you may get lost or get a flat tire or have your car break down. You also never know when you might cut or burn yourself trying to fix an engine problem on the side of the road.
A first aid kit should always be kept inside your car. Whether it is in the glove compartment or trunk, having one is essential to maximizing your safety and the safety of your passengers.
Having first aid equipment on the road with you can prevent minor injuries from becoming major ones, and it can give you the extra time needed to get to a hospital for any serious problems.
Make sure to let other family members know that there is a kit in the car and where exactly it is located. Show them what supplies are in the car so they can handle an emergency if you are unable to.
