EMERGENCY PREPARDNESS 

Packing Your Emergency Bag 

When you are traveling or simply just at home with your child, an emergency bag of equipment should always 
be ready for you to use. Accidents can happen. We want you to be ready. Your emergency bag should be large 
enough to have all the supplies in 1 bag. As you get close to going home, we want you to bring a bag to the 
hospital.
