While the laundry does itself, I thought I'd post a couple of links to preparedness...
First, you can afford it. Not strictly first aid, but more general 'disasters', such as tornados. http://garrett.dyndns.biz/blog/index.php/archives/2006/05/29/56/preparedness-5-dollars-at-a-time/
The CERT program might not be everywhere, or might be called something different in your area. We took it a few years ago and continue to be as active as we can in the program, acting as victims and taking a few brushups when we have time. It is offered through our local Emergency Management agency. https://www.citizencorps.gov/cert/
The Red Cross has some good basic lists and plans. http://www.redcross.org/
As you become more skilled at first aid, you will be able to add to your kit(s) so that you can do more in emergency situations.
More as time goes on, I'm sure. This topic is important to us since we've both been 'displaced' before. Standing by helplessly is not a good feeling. It's comforting to know we don't have to worry if the power grid goes down, or other foreseeable problems occur.
