> At this point in the rescue efforts, nearly anything and everything is needed. On a smaller scale, companies like 1st Aid Supplies are donating medical items and food to Haiti. The amount of ABD pads donated by 1st Aid Supplies, for example, can be used in rescue efforts by the Red Cross for those injured. Although an ordinary gauze pad by sight, ABD pads come in sizes of five inches by nine inches and are a multipurpose first aid item. One of these sterile gauze pads is needed for wound cleaning and for use as a bandage for larger cuts, abrasions, and lacerations. When applied with tape, one of these ABD pads will control bleeding and reduce contamination of the area. As a result, those with wounds will heal faster, as the ABD pad will prevent the area from becoming infected.

Having the necessary supplies and equipment in the wake of a disaster is important for survival. Victims, and those aiding them, need the basic supplies to address any wounds or injuries, before seeking proper medical attention, and need food and water, in case either becomes drained or cut off. Prepare your community, business, and home for such disasters from an earthquake, hurricane, or tornado with the necessary first aid and disaster preparedness supplies. 1st Aid Supplies carries such kits and individual items that meet or exceed OSHA standards at below market prices. Located in San Fernando, California, 1st Aid Supplies can provide your business, home, or organization with the necessary items to be prepared for a disaster on any scale.
