How to put together a first aid kit for your car

An emergency car kit is one of those things we don’t think about until it’s too late. Whether it’s a break down in a dark and dingy spot, with no cell phone reception or going on a road trip and someone sustains minor injuries – it’s a good thing to always be prepared

Having free road assistance is not an excuse to gear down for the safety. The great thing about making your own first aid kit is that you can customise it to fit into your family. You should always have a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, jumper cables, flashlight, extra batteries, a multi-purpose utility tool, a tyre gauge, and gloves.

Today, we focus on creating the perfect first aid kit for your family. You will want to add medication specific to your family’s needs. Here are the items will you need for your kit:

The items

3 small and one medium sized water-resistant container

A CPR mouthpiece Eye Drops Hydrogen Peroxide Ace Bandage Gauze (assorted) Medical Tape Adhesive Bandages (assorted) Disinfecting Wipes Hand Sanitizer

Thermometer Antibacterial Wipes Bug Bite Itch Relief Stick Latex Gloves

Medical gloves Tissues

Trash Bags Heat and/or Ice Pack

Labels

1 small child safe scissors - metal

Medication (assorted)

Triple Antibiotic Ointment

Antiseptic solution

Sunblock

Anti-diarrhoea medication

Put it together

The organisation is an important part of your first aid kit. Everything needs to be easily accessible. The 3 small containers will help separate your bandages, gauze, and medication. This also saves space in the kit.

When you are done packing the small stuff in the various containers, label each container and include the day you stocked the stuff.  Labelling the stock date will make it easier to rotate anything that is running low or has expired.

When you are done, add the small containers into the medium-sized container and fit into your boot in case of emergency. If you are unsure about medication contact ER24 and ask for medical advice or the pharmacy. It is also a wise idea to pack a safety blanket and a 5-litre water container if you have space in your boot.

Road Hero by Openera

This is a sneak peak at something the Openera team is working on. We realized that we were seeing a lot of travel related content flowing through our own Openera accounts and many on the team built custom rules to handle travel documents like boarding passes, reservation, receipts, invoices and other travel documents that mattered. We asked ourselves:

"why don't we pre-package a bunch of travel related rules, capture all the email sources of travel related information and make an app that makes travel suck less?"

Add in geo-fenced / location aware notification rules and you have a really useful travel tool while on the road. The goal was not to replace Tripit, Expensify or Attachments.me but to produce something that took the basic, most useful aspects of each app and design around notification to make life easier for business travellers.
