Protect your classroom with a Lockdown Safety Kit

As the summer comes to a close, schools begin to restock on important supplies, and one product we think that no classroom should be without is a Lockdown Safety Kit.  Lovetoknow.com, a website full of information on a huge range of topics published an in-depth article on how important it is to have one of these kits in a classroom.  They list several reasons ranging from in-school violence to natural disaster and explain the possible uses for such a kit.

Our Classroom Lockdown Safety Kits come with (3) 3600 calorie food bars, (30) packs of drinking water, (1) roll of toilet paper, (2) toilet disinfectants, (100) moist towelettes, (4) toilet liners, (1) AM radio w/batteries, (1) emergency whistle, (1) 10 yard role of duct tape, and (1) mylar blanket.  All of the supplies are stored in a heavy duty bucket with a lid that can be converted into a toilet in emergency situations.

We would love to see schools be prepared to protect their students in any way possible, and these Classroom Lockdown Kits are just one way to do that.  If you are shopping for a school be sure to take a look at our School First Aid Kits page too.

Escaping from a Sinking Car? You Need a Window Punch

August 19th, 2010

One of the busiest traveling holidays (Labor Day) is approaching soon. The fact is that many of us may be near water during the “end of summer” holiday weekend.  More recently we have been hearing about accidents with automobiles involved in flash floods and off road accidents.  We would never want an accident like this to happen to anyone, but knowing that this kind of thing does happen, isn’t it better to be prepared?

This Youtube clip will show you how fast these types of accidents can happen.  These drivers did escape safely.

How can you guard yourself against an accident like this?

The Window Punch is the answer. For a little over $5, this took could save your life.  This tool will easily break windows to allow for a quick escape from your vehicle. Make a small investment in this tool, then keep it under the seat or in the glove box. If the time ever comes when the Window punch is needed, it will be there.

As scary as it is to think about being in this situation, this topic can also yield amazing stories of survival. Have a related story? Share it with us!
