preparedness
While the sisters are going around answering questions take 3 sisters at a
time walk them down the hall with there flashlight (if they brought one
that is) to the gym where it's pitch dark and have them eat dinner in the
dark.
Only using there flashlights to see. After dinner turn on the lights and
put together the first-aid kits.
First Aid Kits:
Black film canister with grey lid
dime
quarter
sm. gauze in packets
Alcohol swab pad
Tylenol pack with 2 Tylenol in it
2 matches cut down in size to fit
1 Double mint gum stick
sm. piece of soap wrapped in foil
needle thread
sandpaper cut round glued on top of lid (for sticking the matches)
gauze tape wrapped around outside of film canister
They must go in the canister this way to fit:
First drop the dime and quarter in the bottom of canister then wrap the
gauze, alcohol, Tylenol in half with the matches inside it all. Take the
gum and wrap that around all of this and push it in the canister. Place
the soap wrapped in foil down in the middle of the matches then thread the
needle and
push it in the soap. (The sandpaper should have already been glued to the
top of the film canister before the evening begins.) Fit the lid on and
wrap the gauze tape around the outside of canister and your done.
This really does all go in I know it seems impossible but it does. Then we
had a speaker talk on ways to better be prepared and had tables decorated
with different emergency items people had and where they got them and how
much. It was a fun but learning experience for all!
