5-Minute Message: SKIP Kits
A SKIP (Safety Kept In Place) Kit is much smaller than a Go-Kit. It’s just a few simple items in a ziptop bag, stashed wherever you spend time. Under your desk (where you would Drop, Cover and Hold On); in a glove compartment; in the couch cushions; or in a purse/backpack, etc. Customize and make your SKIP Kit your own. Any small item that that will help you stay safe, calm and comfortable in those first moments after something happens can go in your SKIP Kit. Some ideas:
- whistle
- flashlight/glowstick
- marker
- bandana
- tissues
- mylar blanket
- hand sanitizer
- water pouch & medicine
- paper & pen – for reminders, information or inspiration
Wherever you are, have a little safety kept in place!
