Prepping isn’t just for preppers anymore—it’s time to get a go-bag

Perhaps the most important reason to get prepping is that it can be a fun, meaningful, and empowering way to spend your time. The paper towels in your car kit might save the day when your nephew has a raging nosebleed in the backseat (I speak from personal experience). And that duct tape in your everyday carry can fix almost anything that might break while you’re out, from aging sneakers succumbing to a day in the city to a ripped backpack on a mountain hike. Providing teachers with critical emergency supplies that are readily accessible is a vital part of being prepared. Edu-Care Services, Inc. has designed a “Go-Kit” to be used specifically by teachers. Many kits include small flashlights or light sticks to provide illumination during power outages or low-light situations.

Student Emergency Kits

Our standard Go-Kit includes a first aid kit for scrapes and scratches but is not intended to address life-threatening bleeding situations. Maintaining a safe and secure educational environment is a priority of school boards, administrators, teachers, support staff and parents. In many cases a teacher is the immediate person responsible for student safety and is typically the first person to assist students in any major or minor incident. Regularly check the kit for expired items, ensure that it's properly stocked, and review its contents with your child to familiarize them with its use.

Yes, school emergency kits are designed for both sheltering in place and evacuations, with portable supplies that can be carried easily. These kits may include mobility aids, medications, and communication tools tailored to individual needs. Schools and parents can collaborate to ensure kits are inclusive and effective during emergencies. Many school emergency kits include dust masks to protect against smoke, dust, or debris during emergencies. On average, these kits range from $50 to $200, offering cost-effective solutions for schools seeking to enhance safety preparedness. Customized kits for specific needs may have additional costs but ensure every classroom is equipped with essential supplies for emergencies.

Do the kits include a fire extinguisher or other fire safety tools?

Emergency kits should be stored in easy-to-reach locations, such as near classroom doors or in designated emergency supply areas, for quick access during an emergency. Yes, it’s important to replace food and water as they expire, usually every 3 to 5 years, to ensure the kit remains fully stocked and safe to use. Kits often include flashlights, glow sticks, or other light sources to help provide illumination during power outages or in low-light situations. Curated by three survival experts, the collection includes gear that can help you put together a makeshift shelter and retain body heat in cold climates, like an emergency tent and blanket. You’ll also find fire starters, a lantern and a tactical flashlight to light your path. The non-perishable items like blankets and first aid supplies can last indefinitely, but food, water, and batteries typically need to be replaced every 3 to 5 years.
