Quick Overview

The First Aid Only 2-Person Tornado Preparedness Backpack is a 97-piece emergency kit that keeps food, water, light, dust protection and first aid supplies on hand for two people for up to 3 days after a tornado. Keep it in the basement, a safe room, the car or a work closet.

The backpack has shoulder straps and room for personal items. Safety goggles, a 1 oz. eyewash and 2 dust-protection face masks address dusty air, and a crank flashlight/radio/cell phone charger brings light and updates. Duct tape, a multi-tool, dotted poly-cotton gloves and biohazard bags sit with emergency blankets, ponchos, hand warmers, hygiene items, playing cards, tablets and a personal first aid kit.

Food and water: two 6-packs of emergency food bars, 12 emergency water packets, 4 oz, and a collapsible 2.5 gallon emergency water pouch, with a 5-year shelf life for food and water. Also inside: 2 emergency blankets, 52" x 84", 2 ponchos, 2 light sticks, 4 biohazard bags, 24" x 24", 4 BZK antiseptic towelettes, a 4" x 5" cold pack and 2 each of aspirin, ibuprofen and extra-strength non-aspirin tablets. SKU FAO-91056. The kit is OSHA compliant and assembled in the US.

Stage the backpack in the basement or storm shelter before tornado season, inspect it on a set schedule and check any dates printed on the components. Replace anything used or opened before the backpack goes back in place.

Field Application Steps

1. STAGE THE BACKPACK: Keep the backpack in the basement, storm shelter, safe room, car or a work closet. Store it where both people can reach it without searching, and tell each person where it is.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the backpack and check each item against the contents list for the 97-piece kit. Confirm the crank flashlight/radio/cell phone charger, multi-tool and personal first aid kit are present before storage.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: Sort the contents by group: food and water, light and communication, shelter and warmth, tools and protection, hygiene, medication and first aid. Repack in the same order so either person can find an item by name.

4. OPEN AND GEAR UP: After the storm passes, check for debris and other hazards, and call 911 if anyone is hurt or trapped. Open the backpack, then put on the dotted poly-cotton gloves, safety goggles and a dust-protection face mask.

5. GET LIGHT AND NEWS: Use the crank flashlight/radio/cell phone charger for light, local news and phone charging as its packaging directs. Keep the 2 light sticks and the whistle at hand for signaling from the house.

6. USE FIRST AID BY NAME: Reach for the eyewash, cold pack, BZK antiseptic towelettes or personal first aid kit by name. Use each one as its own packaging directs and as your training allows, and follow the label on any tablets.

7. MANAGE FOOD AND WATER: Open the emergency food bars and water packets as their packaging directs, and track what each person has opened. Use the ponchos and emergency blankets during the wait for power or help.

8. REPORT AND RESTOCK: Tell responders what happened and which items you used, and seal used gloves and wrappers in a biohazard bag. Replace every item used or opened, check any dates printed on the components and return the backpack to its spot.
