A certain amount of emergency response equipment is needed if an organization is to deal effectively with an emergency. This equipment might include first aid kits, Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), fire extinguishers, etc. For a comprehensive list of necessary emergency equipment see the Ready Rating worksheet: Emergency Response Equipment for more information on this topic.
Emergency supplies are available throughout the facility. These supplies include First Aid Kits, AEDs, fire extinguishers, BBP protective equipment (blood borne pathogens), protective eyewear and foot wear, etc.
Shelters should be provisioned with supplies that are matched to the expected number of people seeking protection at the site.
Some replacement supplies can be found at the Red Cross Store at www.redcrossstore.org.
