EVAQ8 Care Home Fire Evacuation Kit - Emergency Grab Bag

Good buy

I am a bit disappointed. Here is a list of the contents:20 rain ponchos20 mylar blanketsEnergizer head lampXL hi viz vest100 patient identification bandsPermanent marker2 triangular bandage1 large dressing10 waterproof plasters1 pair vinyl glove2 wound cleansing wipesRed bag to hold all that with space for more appropriate home car emergency bag.

I am long way from convinced that this emergency pack for Care Homes is worth anything like the current price of £115. The red back pack, hi vis jacket and headtorch with batteries were ok. The inclusion of emergency blankets, poncho's, patient ID bracelets and a pen could be useful, but the lack of a decent first aid kit was extremely disappointing - this was woefully inadequate with insufficient basic items (just 2 triangular bandage, 1 large dressing, 10 waterproof plasters, 1 pair vinyl gloves and 2 wound cleansing wipes) and no scissors, cpr respirator, tweezers, safety pins, micropore tape to name a few items which aside from a better supply of basic first aid items should be included.
