Intelligent First Aid
Welcome to Intelligent First Aid’s hub on 5 Minutes for Mom. Our goal is to urge you to not only have a first aid kit in your home, but to also have the right one – one that works for you.

Note: There are ALL NEW Quiz Questions so you can test yourself again!
What Would I Do?
Sometimes when I am lying in bed at night trying to sleep, the thought crosses my mind that if there was a fire in our home, we might not be able to escape. My family’s bedrooms are all on the top floor of our house. If a fire occurred in the lower levels of our home, trapping us upstairs, just how would we escape?
The more I think about it, the more it worries me. I should definitely look into purchasing several escape ladders and holding a fire drill with our children.
While I know that emergency preparedness is of the upmost importance, my husband and I have yet to put together any sort of emergency plans for our home and family. We definitely do not have a stock pile of food, a list of emergency contact phone numbers or even a way to escape from the top floor of our home in the event of a fire.
In fact, the more I think about it, the more driven I am to stop everything and get cracking on our emergency preparedness.
One thing we do have is an Intelligent First Aid™ kit. I am very thankful for the kit. It is separated into individually labeled and color-coded injury packs so that I have all of the supplies and easy to follow instructions for managing a specific injury.
At the squeeze of a button, the audio module in each injury card narrates step-by-step instructions to manage the injury, pausing and repeating when necessary.
Comment and Win
How prepared are you for an emergency? Please tell me that you are in a better place than I am with your emergency preparation.
What things do you do with your children to prepare for emergencies? Do you hold fire drills in your home? Have you taught your children when and how to dial 911? Where do you keep your emergency contacts? Would your children know which family members or friends to call in the event of an emergency?
Let’s discuss emergency preparedness in the comments section below. Each comment counts as an entry into our final drawing for an Intelligent First Aid kit.
You never know when an emergency will happen. It is very important to be prepared!

Andrea O @ 11:32 am
Yay-I got 100% on the quiz! This is a great first aid kit, I would love to win one for my household
Jennifer, Snapshot @ 11:47 am
I only got 67%. I need to see what I did wrong.
I shared it on my Facebook page, too. Let’s see how my friends do!
adrian @ 1:13 pm
Embarrased to say I got 33%. Guess I REALLY need to win this!!
adrian @ 1:14 pm
For halloween safety, I make sure my kids costumes do not interfere with safety, like making sure they can see fully out of any masks, making sure their costume is not too long so that they do not trip, etc.
Pamela M. Kramer @A Renaissance Woman @ 1:21 pm
I got 50% so that means I may or may not be able to help. lol
Heather @ 1:23 pm
My score… 83% – I would love to win this. Thanks for the information – would be really helpful to have one in churches, daycare centers, schools – I could go on & on.
Linda S @ 4:52 pm
I am 83% prepared. I wonder which one was incorrect.
Bonnie Terry @ 8:37 pm
I can’t believe I got a t7% too. I thought I’d do better than that.
Bonnie Terry @ 8:38 pm
Just saw my typo- 67%. Wow – should have done better than that!
Sharon @ 10:45 pm
well, wow. I really thought I was more prepared than what the quiz results suggest. I got a score of 67% prepared. and althought thats more than half and probably a very common score it’s not good enough for me! So I am very eager about this contest. This sounds like a great way to help calm nerves that may otherwise throw you into a stand still which would not be helping anyone in an emergency situation.
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to win.
Thao @ 4:15 am
I could really use this, I only got 50%.

Katja Presnal @ 9:38 am
Thanks for raising awareness for first aid! I have done CPR to my son and done the Heimlich a dozen times, and my son probably wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t known what to do in those situations.
Allie @ 11:19 am
Great quiz! It certainly made me think long and hard about situations that could happen within my home to answer those. And the kit – excellent! One can never have too much information at home even if 911 is readily available.
Erica @ 11:27 am

Just Ask Baby @ 12:33 pm
While Halloween is fun for both children and adults, it does not come without its risks. More child accidents happen on Halloween than on any other holiday. The American Academy of Pediatrics offers a number of helpful, common sense tips on making Halloween safe for everyone involved: http://www.justaskbaby.com/blogs/professor-elkind/halloween-fun-safety
Zoie @ 1:25 pm
I think being visable is the biggest safety tip. I carry a cute pumpkin covered flashlight. My oldest wears light up shoes and has a flashing necklace and a matching pumpkin flashlight. I also give them glowsticks to wear and play with.
Terri @ 2:26 pm
we have the kids wear those glow bracelets. helps them see and know we’re all accounted for. thanks for the chance to win!
Rebecca @ 3:11 pm
My parents always went through all of our candy after trick or treating to make sure it was safe to eat.
Heather @ 4:07 pm
I got a 67%. Yay?
mandy @ 4:34 pm
hmm i got 67% which it told us what we got wrong
Raise Them Up @ 4:35 pm
We have the kids wear the glow necklaces and bracelets like some of the other commenters. It really helps keep them visible.
aimee c. @ 4:43 pm
i got 83%. now i know to cover both eyes during an eye injury! thanks!
Francine Anchondo @ 8:27 pm
I got 67% . My tip for Halloween is dont eat candy that is not wrapped.
Jessie @ 10:41 pm
Hmm, 50% that is pretty bad. Like a pp above our girls wear flow bracelets when out at night. We only go to neighbors that we know and still inspect all candy. Plus I pull out most of it and send it with my husband to work b/c they won’t eat it anyway.
Great giveaway, thanks!
Megret @ 11:06 pm
We only go trick-or-treating within our neighborhood to people’s homes we know. We also inspect the candy afterwards.
Thanks for the chance,
Megret
musesofmegret (at) gmail (dot) com
Megret @ 11:08 pm
I forgot to post that I am 67% prepared — not terrible, but I do need some work!
Naomi @ 11:33 pm
My kids are still pretty young so we set out just before dusk and only trick or treat for about an hour. Our neighborhood has big lots with long, dimly-lit driveways so we usually drive to a more Halloween-friendly area.
Noreen @ 1:07 am
I make sure the costumes are not to long (tripping), I have them stand away from jack=o=lanterns (fire) and we only go in our own neighborhood
Dawn @ Coming to a Nursery Near You @ 7:20 am
I also got 67%. We don’t let our kids go out TorT without us. Of course, we check the candy. We always carry flashlights. The almost never wear masks. We also make sure they have a big dinner before we go out so they don’t feel like eating candy LOL We don’t have a first aid kit at ALL, just some band aids – FAIL. Lol
Marci @ 11:34 am
67% for me. OOPS!
We take our daughters to the mall. Not only is it safe, but we know the candy will be safe too.
Vickie Couturier @ 12:27 pm
I got 83%,I must say I was surprized,Im a retired Nurse an thought I knew a few things but I guess I have a lot to learn,espically since im watching my young grandsons now while their mom works
Alane Michels @ 12:55 pm
Wow I only got 67%, whoops!
Our kids carry glow sticks & we only trick or treat at friends houses. That way we don’t have to worry about the candy!
Storm @ 1:44 pm
My kids use glow sticks, sometimes carry it or wear it as jewelry. We only go to houses of neighbors we know. I carry a flashlight and an extra one in my pocket in case the other flashlight quits working. I also carry my children’s identity in case the worst would happen and somene took off running with my children.
Storm @ 1:47 pm
I only got a 67% which totally suprises me. I have been in situations where I was a first responder and I received compliments on a job well done.
Mary @ Parenthood @ 2:01 pm
I only got 67% but two of the questions were toss-ups for me. Something like this would be very good for me because I …um… tend to lose my head in an emergency, despite theoretically knowing what to do.
We don’t trick or treat and are probably not going to even when Elizabeth is old enough, but when my sister was little and I took her around we always held hands.
Laura P @ 3:01 pm
Cool, I got 100% That’s reassuring!
lace @ 3:45 pm
I haven’t been out trick or treating in years. But I make sure to remind my nieces that they need to stay by their Dad and I also make sure each of them knows their important personal info. One tip is to only visit houses you know the people at or avoid going door to door and attend a Halloween party that night instead.
Melissa @Mel4Him @ 1:32 pm
One of my Halloween Safety tips is that I always make sure that I walk closer to the curb (outside) and the kids walk on the inside. And no one crosses the street without an adult.
As for the test, I got a 50%. Bummer.
Chef Eureka @ 4:11 pm
Doh! I only got a 50%. This product looks simply amazing. Very cool!
LiveLaughLoveCj @ 4:14 pm
I got 100% ready in a medical emergency- but the situation was calm when taking the test. I’ve often wondered when that moment happens, will it all still be there for me to remember to do so well!?! Panic, stress has a way of taking over, especially when it comes to a child or a loved one.
What a fantastic idea, what a real life saving concept! Thank you for the opportunity.
Jamie @ 4:43 pm
I only got 50% – eek – not good. I haven’t had a bad situation yet, but I see myself as going into panic mode. Good thing is…my husband was a medic in the Army for 10 years – bad news is…he’s not always home!! And…I can foresee many trips to the emergency room in my future – my son is four year old MADNESS…lol
Jamie @ 4:45 pm
As far as Halloween goes, I always sort through my child’s candy…but we only go to certain neighborhood houses and then our church’s trunk-or-treat. I also try to go to the neighborhood homes early, before it gets dark.
What a great first aid kit – I’m loving this!!
Cassandra @ 4:54 pm
I always remember having to wear reflective tape on my costume. I don’t have children yet, but certainly have a number of nieces and nephews…this is a great reminder. I’m going to post it on my FB and Blog for friends and family.
Jaclyn @ 5:17 pm
50%
In my defense… I only knew 1 of those songs…
Linda M. @ 5:17 pm
I think a lot of us got 67%….that’s 4 out of 6…..I was surprised at the questions I got wrong. I’d like to think I’d do better in an ER. I’m always told that I’m good to have around when something happens because I can stay calm, BUT I fall apat later when everyone else is calmed down. So I get to look like a dummie all my myself! LOL Very good post & quiz,girls, thanks!
Sandismiles @ 7:34 pm
I only missed one…YEAH….but with having had 4 kids and now on my 7th grand kid you really have to know what to do and how do it….time matters….would love love love to win this kit….smiles to all…..:)
Michelle @ 2:23 am
I got a 67% and that surprised me! First aid is so important, everyone should be educated. Our safety tip during Halloween is that we never go to someone’s house that we don’t know. I did that when I was a kid but we just don’t feel safe doing it now in the 21st century. Which is really sad.
Jamie @ 2:04 pm
I got 67%. I need to see what questions I missed!
Petula @ 4:44 pm
This sounds amazing! Also sounds like something that would be helpful in teaching children about first aid… at least the older ones.
Mickey @ 4:54 pm
I got a 83% on your quiz. I missed the eye question.
Mickey @ 4:56 pm
I got a 83% on your quiz. I missed the eye question. Oh, about Halloween safety. I took the kids to the zoo this year for trick or treat. I think it’s a lot safer than some of the neighborhoods. There are a lot of crazy people out there.
Linda F @ 8:55 pm
I always check my childre’s candy before they eat it to make sure that it’s safe to eat. Also, they always take a flashlight with them.
Kate Ahern @ 12:08 pm
I scored 100%, but it is still time for me to update my first aid and CPR certifications, they expire the end of November.

I took CPR certification as a teenager and again in college, and have had a few refresher courses. Thankfully i have never had to use it on my children….but I always wonder what I would do in that situation. Thank you for the opportunity to win this First Aid Kit! I would love to have this in our home of wild llamas!
Mama Llama @ 11:02 pm
oh and i got a 67% on the test….I guess i am a little rusty!
stampedwithgrace @ 9:21 am
I got 83%. this would be great to teach my kids with!
stampedwithgrace @ 9:22 am
for safety, we go to Fall Festivals instead of trick-or-treating and my kids got gobs of candy!
Nicholas Crawford @ 9:42 am
Great idea – I like how they organized the kit by subject area too.
Forgetting the CPR steps in an emergency has always worried me because I usually have a hard time remembering the steps the day after a CPR refresher class.
Elizabeth @ 9:53 am
i took a first aid course in school 10 years ago, but i don’t think i remember enough now for it to be useful.
Elizabeth @ 9:54 am

Maggie @ 12:44 pm

Sadly, I only got 50% correct. Hope I’m not faced with anything too major in the near future!
Sharon @ 4:04 pm
Well, I got 50% on the first aid quiz…very embarrassed. I took a First Responder’s class quite a few years ago; I guess I need a refresher course ASAP!

Julie Smith @ 11:27 pm
When my youngest daughter was born premature, I had to take a CPR class at the hospital before I could bring her home (she was on a monitor and was still very tiny when she got home). I also had my caregiver take the course before she started watching over her. I am very happy that we did, because one day while I was at work, my daughter stopped breathing and my caregiver was able to resuscitate her before the ambulance arrived. Now, both of my older daughters are in the healthcare field and are well-versed in CPR, so they gave me lessons (I just got a lesson on the ‘new’ CPR) last week. Hopefully, I’ll never have to use it, but if I do, at least I’ll know I’m prepared.
Julie Smith @ 11:29 pm
According to the quiz, I am only 50% prepared for a medical emergency
Cara Mirabella @ 11:39 pm
I got 83% on the quiz – didn’t know about covering an eye injury.
Alaina Frederick @ 12:32 am
I got a 83%. I should have scored much higher!
Honestly I think if it wasn’t a family member I’d be okay but if it was one of my kids I’d lose it. Which I know is not what to do.
Traci West @ 10:44 am
YIKES! 50%! Perhaps I am not qualified to care for my children!

Tanya W. @ 11:59 am
I also got 100% on the quiz, but I’m a a registered nurse, so that’s to be expected. I have personally used CPR on countless occasions, as I work on a Medical Surgical Floor.
Here’s my personal CPR story. I was 7 years old and I was settling in with my parents in our new apartment in NY, we were busy unpacking. All of a sudden, a frantic woman bursts through our front door with a purple faced toddler in her arms screaming “Please help, my baby is choking!” My Dad was also a Registered Nurse (back in those days that was nearly unheard of) I watched as My Dad, my Hero, performed CPR -after the heimlich maneuver- so deftly and swiftly to get that little girl breathing again.It turns out that she had an animal cracker lodged in her throat. I knew from that day on that I would be a nurse like my Dad.
I think that the Intelligent First Aid™ kit is wonderful, organized and really a must have in any home, and well worth the price. As a matter of fact, I am a long time Girl Scout leader and I’d love to have this for my Junior troop to use and learn from. Many times in emergency situations, even the most experienced people can get somewhat panicky (especially if its our own family) and the embedded audio chips, color guidebook and medical essentials all neatly available at your fingertips is wonderful and beyond priceless!
Tanya W. @ 12:08 pm
The hospital that I work for in Chesepeake, VA holds basic first aid, various CPR courses and babysitting certification courses for the community approximatley every 6-8 weeks.

We are currently planning to “REVIEW” our First Aid information in a near future.
Obviously I need to refresh course… LOL
Jennifer C @ 11:08 am
Wow, I’m embarrassed to admit I only scored 33% – pretty disturbing. Time to refresh my first aid, that’s for sure. We did it 3 years ago, before the twins were born – but I have forgotten a lot of it.
Jennifer C @ 11:09 am
My biggest safety tip for trips with kids is make sure the car seat is installed properly, particularly in cars you are not usually in, like cabs or rentals.
Linda J Altamirano-Cabrera @ 12:24 pm
I got 33%, and now I am scared.
Linda J Altamirano-Cabrera @ 12:26 pm

wmmahaney(at)att(dot)net
Wendy @ 11:49 am
I will be traveling through 5 states this Christmas with my boys and one thing I always think about is to stop in places with plenty of people around.
Laureen @ 11:49 am
Safety Tip: Keep an aloe plant in the kitchen to use in case of burns. What a useful plant to have! I love mine though I’ve never used it on myself. Those in my household who have are impressed by the soothing the aloe provides by simply breaking off a piece and applying the serum onto the burn wound as soon as possible.
Wendy @ 11:51 am
I try to minimize stops by doing as much as I can each time we stop. Such as gas, food and bathroom at the same time. It saves so much time as we travel.
wmmahaney(at)att(dot)net
Wendy @ 11:53 am
I use family restrooms at reststops if they are available. As a mom traveling with boys, I do not like them going into bathrooms without me.

Mel @ 4:27 pm
Make sure when you get to 1/4 tank of gas to fill it up again! Don’t take a chance on getting stranded out in the middle of nowhere.
Mel @ 4:29 pm
Always carry knives, scissors, and sharp objects with the sharp point down towards the ground, not pointed out away from you or towards you.
Mel @ 4:30 pm
If you are driving through the desert or areas where you know that cell phone coverage may fail, tell the people at your destination what time to expect your arrival and your exact driving route.
Mel @ 4:31 pm
When you set out for long drives through the desert (I live in AZ), make sure to take lots of drinking water with you just in case your car breaks down.
Mel @ 4:32 pm
Make sure your cell phone is fully charged before you set out on a long drive through rural or otherwise unaccessible areas.
Mel @ 4:33 pm
Have a first aid kit in your car. Also keep a blanket and/or coat in the trunk.
Mel @ 4:34 pm
Do not drive when you are sleepy. Pull over and take a nap, OR get some kind of caffeinated drink if you must continue the journey.
The Mind of a Mom @ 8:00 pm
I would love to win this kit, we would use it for our soccer team. Our coach from last year quite but before he did that he drained our bank account, he wrecked all our equipment and he alienated our sponsor. So we are basically starting from scratch. So this would be amazing for me to win for the team.
Gina O. @ 8:13 pm
50%…wow I am a loser…maybe I will win the prize!!
Dorian Valles @ 10:49 pm
Yikes! I only got a 50% too! Guess I need this kit, thanks. Hope I win!
Annette D @ 10:54 pm
I made 1 67, Yikes, I guess I need to win in case of an emergency.
Megret @ 11:05 pm
We always take our baby monitors with us when we travel. Though our kids are preschool-aged now, it helps us make sure we can hear them during the night if we’re staying in a rental house and aren’t able to have bedrooms close together.
Thanks,
Megret

Since we are all adults our safety includes proper air in tires and seat belt use mainly.

Not too bad!
Brenda Rupp @ 8:25 pm
I don’t have a first aid kit in my car. I got 67% that wasn’t too bad!
hindy @ 4:07 am
i only let the kids out on the sidewalk side of the car.
marija @ 7:02 am
I am 100%
Kristin @ 8:59 am
I only got 33%!
Jennifer @ 9:10 am
I scored 50%. With two young children, 50% is not good enough to save them in my opinion!
haley Beech @ 12:48 pm
I always have a plastic shoe box full of things that children may need when they get hurt or sick. I include a trash bag (for throwing up), wipes, sanitizer, Motrin, Bandaids, Bug Spray, Antibotic ointment, anti-itch ointment, and some other random things. I can know that I will have whatever I need if an emergency arises.
Try to have games or new songs or new snacks or new coloring books to give them something fresh or different to anticipate.
LaVonne @ 2:30 pm
I am not very good at having first aid items around. After reading this it has reminded me to do better. I don’t even think I have bandaids in my diaper bag or glove box. When accidents happen though I tend to remain calm now because if I am calm my daughter does not cry so hard or even at all sometimes.
aimee c. @ 2:49 am
this would be super-handy to have while traveling in the car. always be prepared! thanks!
aimee c. @ 2:49 am
i subscribe! thanks!
Sittintall @ 8:57 am
I travel alone to Chicago a lot to visit my family. This would definitely make me feel a little safer when we go. As far as safety tips go, I make sure the kids always hold on to a grown ups hand or grocery cart when we’re at the store. You never know when a car could pull out just like that!
Sittintall @ 9:04 am
I got a 50% on the quiz. Guess I need to learn a bit!
angelface0821 @ 1:01 pm
Only a 50% – how embarrassing, and enlightening! I think I need this kit more than I realized!! Thanks so much
I really don’t have any safety tips. When I’m decorating, I don’t feel like I’m thinking about safety, and that’s just terrible. I’m afraid I’m an accident waiting to happen.
Carol W. @ 4:56 pm
Safety measures include regular seatbelt use, and being alert and aware of your surroundings. (Geared for adults)
Carol W. @ 4:58 pm
I scored 83%. The bee sting question stumped me. I guess most of us could use this emergency kit.
tiffany c @ 5:56 am
really informative i scored 50% thought for sure i would have aced it.Good to be prepared for these times
etirv @ 10:59 am
33% correct means I need this kit!
Jojo @ 4:29 pm
When we decorate for the holidays, mainly Halloween and Christmas, the first thing we do is make sure all light cords and extension cords we use are intact. Also, when using extension cords, make sure that they aren’t laying where foot traffic is, so that nobody can trip on them and fall, or trip on them and pull something down, causing injury. We also make sure that even though our lights really don’t get hot, I like to make sure that there is nothing touching the lights, like sheer curtains, etc, that could catch fire.
jina @ 7:46 pm
i am a nurse i got 100 % of the answers. it was easy because of my field of work.

Jennifer @ 9:12 pm
I got a 67%. Looks like i need a ‘talking kit’ to help me in an emergency!!
Michelle @ 11:04 pm
Yay I received a 100%! This kit would be great to have on hand. You just never know when you might need it!
AJ Collins @ 11:37 pm
I got a 67%… but the answers were a little ambiguous… yeah. I am not prepared. Please give me a kit to make me prepared… anyone?!
Jenny @ 11:46 pm
Yikes, I only got 83%. Now I need to see what I missed.
vanessa @ 3:53 am
Being a single parent to two young boys, my score of 33% has really shocked me and shown my lack of first aid knowledge. Thanks for the test. I definitely have to brush up on my knowledge
Michelle B. @ 6:24 am
I am 100% prepared. I would love to win this.
Michelle B. @ 6:27 am
My tip for holiday safety. When burning candles during the holidays (or any time of year really) I burn Gold Canyon candles. I have 8 children and children are drawn to the fire on candles. The wax Gold Canyon uses will not burn if it gets spilled on someone. I of course always keep them up and out of the way but know that if they got knocked over my child would not be burned makes me feel better about burning candles.
Linda S @ 8:22 am
I got 100% on this quiz!
Sittintall @ 8:48 am
Well, at least this time I got a 83%. My confidence in first aid just went up a bit from yesterday’s 50%.
Lisa @ 9:09 am
I would have done all the wrong things!Scored 33% I didn’t realize how dangerous i could be!I definitely need a First Aid kit!!!Thank-you for the quiz!
Joycee Kraus @ 6:04 pm
I’m afraid to take the test LOL I know I not good at first aid
Jennifer @ 7:21 pm
I got 50% and then took the other quiz to beef up my studying. Off to read more…
By the way – loved the Stayin’ Alive fact! So helpful when remembering CPR compression facts.
My tip – what to ask a stroke victim when you suspect a stroke. A – C – T. Can I remember what it stands for…no. Darn.
Shalitha @ 10:30 pm
My score was 83 but i could have done better.
katklaw777 @ 4:14 am
I got an 83%. I missed the burn question cause I said cold water instead of cool. I did learn something which is the point.
katklaw777 @ 4:22 am
We use timers for our outdoor lights and indoor tree, that way you don’t have to plug and unplug your decorations and risk getting shocked. Especially outdoors in the damp weather.
cris @ 12:40 pm
We probably spend a little more time thinking of safety with the outdoor decorations, since they’re often on while we’re not home. Mostly we consider wind and wet, which is what we have all fall and winter here, and use timers for everything. The outside plugs are individual gfis as well.

Angie @ 9:26 pm
Wow – I only got 67%. that stinks. I used to be CPR and First Aid certified (like 4 years ago). I’m embarassed.
Amy Ward @ 2:23 am
Ok, Ok so I have to admit it… I thought I would get a 100% considering I am a full time super-mom and a full time college student, (even if I’m majoring in Psychology, one would think that subject would apply…right???) But, I got a 67% which was a good eye opener for me… It means I am not as prepared as I thought I was and where I need to get more information, so I could live up to my “Super Mom” status. Thanks a million for the quiz… and perhaps the winner of this safety kit will appreciate having the tools provided to help others out in a time of crisis.
Many Warm Smiles,
Amy
Barbara Platt @ 7:23 am
we try to be safe during the holiday by noy leaving lights on when we re not home.

Barbara Platt @ 7:40 am
travel safety includes taking a blanket in case you get stranded and need to keep warm
Jaimie K @ 10:26 am
I like to make sure that my lights cords are tucked away from little hands and feet. I also only put the glass tree decorations on the top half. It may look a little funny, but it’s better than having broken glass and cut little fingers!
Thanks for the chance! This looks great!
Jaimie K @ 10:31 am
100%, yes!
I would love to have this kit for my car!
Megan @ 5:08 pm
I managed a 67% but found myself guessing at nearly all questions. Pretty pathetic.
Kareen Thornock @ 5:12 pm

I only got an 83% on the quiz. I guess I could use a bit more education in first aid.
Sheree' @ 10:42 am
At any holiday the one way we try to keep our kids safe is to watch what food is being served and if we are at someone house find out ahead of time what food will be served. My child has a life threatening allergy to many foods and it is the best way to keep her safe.
Kat @ 10:32 pm
I got an 83 on the quiz
Kat @ 10:35 pm
we keep our tree out of the way of foot traffic and also no garland or tinsel as the cat and two year old like the shiny stuff and no ornaments that can fit in a toilet paper roll babygirl still puts things in her mouth and I really don’t want to have her choke on something I could have prevented

Some Lucky Dog @ 9:04 pm
When I was working the first aid kit was kept at the manager’s area where it was readily accessible. I’d love to have a kit like this at home. We live 75 miles from the nearest hospital, so it could come in handy!
Some Lucky Dog @ 9:09 pm
Hmmm, I got a 67%. Guess I need to brush up a bit!

Rita @ 2:17 pm
It appears this grandma is in dire need of emergency savvy. Help me, please!
FireMom @ 3:56 pm
We’re pretty prepared. I married a fire-medic so it comes part and parcel with this family. Our older son knows the number to call in an emergency, how to actually do so on a phone, our address and other pertinent information. Should we be in a crash, we also have all of our ICE information easily accessible.
stacy @ 7:18 pm
We had about a 6 month stockpile and I am happy that we did. My dh got laid off and we have had to use it…down to about a 4 month supply….that’s what it was there for.
Melissa Nunley @ 1:55 am
I got 50% on my quiz – thank goodness my husband have survival training while in the army.
katklaw777 @ 4:23 am
We always put the kids in PJ’s and traveled at night. The kids slept and did not distract us. Also there were less cars on the road. This always worked for us.
Lisa - CT Coupon Chic @ 6:38 am
I only got a 67% on the quiz – and I just took a class on first aid, yikes!
Jaimie K @ 12:03 pm
I would really like to start doing fire drills here with my girls. My kids are still pretty young (oldest of 3 is 3 years), but I think they would be able to at least have fun with the fire drill and hopefully remember it if it really happened. We also have 72 hour kits for our family (that need some updating…) and a food storage with a year supply of food. I still need to get non food items for storage as well as cash.
Question: what age do you teach to call 911? I’m afraid that if I teach them, they will call it regularly!
Thanks for bringing emergency preparedness back to the top of my brain.
Jaimie K @ 12:04 pm
Oh, I am also a nurse, so I am CPR certified, as well as more advanced certifications. THat’s nice to have for emergencies too!

Nicole @ Heres The Diehl @ 8:44 am
I feel like we’ve taught our kids the basics of 911, our phone numbers/address, how to get out and where to go if there’s a fire, but there’s so much more to teach them!
Megret @ 9:00 am
I scored 67% — not what I want it to be! We do have a fire escape plan, a fire ladder for upstairs, and the kids know when and how to dial 911. My husband and I have both taken 2 CPR classes since our first child was born, but you are right — stress and adrenaline sometimes cause a brain lapse. It’d be nice to have a kit that told me what to do!
Thanks for the chance,

Sue @ 9:04 am
I am all for emergency awareness. DH and I have been stock piling canned food, non-perishables and water but we need more. We also have many candles and keep our flashlights in a designated place (same place we hide from a tornado). We will be moving to a two-story house soon and we will be investing in a fire escape ladder and we will have fire drills. Fire scares me to death. Both of us have taken at least one CPR class. We have small first aid kits (one in each vehicle and one in the house (all need updating). Thank you for your website.

what a great idea & an even more wonderful of a give away! I’m embrassed to say what I got on the quiz……..well, I guess a 77% isn’t too bad…yes it is! But living here in FL. we’re made to be more aware of being prepared. Especially since the hurricanes of 2004 & 2005! So I do have a hurricane box of supplies that include food, flashlights,new batteries every year,a radio & all the things I wish I’d had for the first time. Thanks for another great give away!

Great item to have in preschool class sometimes you need a reminder that you dont know as much as you thought you did. thank you
Rachel McGuire @ 10:44 am
Wow. I didn’t know anything like this existed. it’s awesome. I know when My oldest boy was a baby I had to perform CPR on him often because his lungs were not fully developed and he would turn blue. Without the proper training he would have died. This kit woud be a godsend.
Samantha @ 10:54 am
I got 83% on the second quiz
Samantha @ 10:58 am
We have been trying to get 72 hour kits ready for the 3 of us. My husbands and mine are almost done, but we need to improve my son’s. Until recently, he was nursing so I wasn’t too worried about food for him, but now he is weaned so we need to get something together for him. We also have a longer term food storage, but that won’t help much if we have to leave the house. We have a carbon monoxide detector too. We need to get a fire escape plan ready though. I guess we are prepared in some ways and not in others.
Jeannine Miranda @ 11:00 am

I am not as prepared as I should be. We have talked with the kids about where to meet should there be a fire and we escape through different doors/windows but we have not practiced anything.
