Earthquake Search & Rescue Team Kit by LifeSecure

Earthquake Search & Rescue Team Kit.

This earthquake search and rescue kit is an important component of solid emergency preparedness for any facility.

This kit is designed using the experience of leading disaster response organizations to meet the needs of each two–person search and rescue team at a school, workplace, or other facility.

The instructions and supplies in this kit can be used to conduct search and rescue operations until qualified professional emergency help arrives and to assist the professionals once they are on the scene. 

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program trains volunteers around the country in basic search and rescue and other disaster response skills. This allows them to assist others when professional responders are not available to help. Such training can prepare volunteers in your facility to use the supplies in this kit. 

The kit includes supplies for: storage of instructions and search and rescue plans (waterproof pouch), conducting search and rescue, ensuring easy breathing in the presence of dust and other contaminants, attending to injured people, and providing communication and light. The heavy–duty backpack makes supplies easy to store, carry and access for use. For medical support of search and rescue operations, purchase one 50–Person Trauma First Aid Kit every 50 people in your facility.
