Let’s not forget about those fur babies – those animals that make your life a better place. Ensure that you have adequate supplies on hand in the event of emergencies for those members of your families. We offer Pet First Aid Kits which include animal CPR Instructions, a collar blinker, specially formulated wipes for their eyes, nose and ears, an emergency blanket for them and tons of other first aid items that are also valid for humans too.

 

 

Vehicle Emergency Preparedness

While on the road this summer, ensure that you have roadside emergency supplies as well. There are more people on the road this time of year than ever increasing the chances of accidents and emergencies. Be sure to have your vehicle stocked full of supplies by purchasing our Vehicle Survival Kit. This kit includes emergency food & water rations, a reflective triangle and safety vest, multi-bit screwdrivers and 5 function army knife, fuses, first aid, emergency blanket and rain poncho, a safety hammer  with seat belt cutter and window-smasher, and much more.

 

 

School & Daycare Emergency Preparedness

It’s close to the end of the school year and maybe there is some remaining budget that allows you to make some important upgrades to your school’s emergency supplies. We offer a 27 Person Classroom Emergency Kit that includes items for everyone in an entire classroom; food, water, emergency blankets, light sticks, dust masks, first aid and safety equipment for Teachers. These kits are a must-have for every classroom. Daycares are required to have emergency kits with enough supplies for each person at the centre. Our 9 Person Daycare Kit includes the items that you, as a valued and trusted care provider, require.
