What is EMS supply?

EMS supply is the collection of medications, equipment and materials that are used by the emergency response teams. This not only includes basic first aid materials, it also has medical equipment that aids in treatment of victims. EMS supply list is created and maintained by government regulatory organizations. The list of EMS supply items may vary according to the location for which the EMS guide is designed, which also provisions for further specialization. EMS supply lists are segregated into Geo specific, Mishap specific and requirement specific needs. Geo specific guidelines include supplies that counter climatic and geographical threats. For example, earth quake prone areas are required to have trained rescuers, along with rescue equipments.

Mishap specific needs will include EMS supply items that are specifically required for treating the victims of specific mishaps. A good example of this type would be the fire response teams. These teams are equipped with escalator chairs, ropes, fire extinguishing materials, ladders, etc. The medications will also include items for treating burns, smoke inhalation, etc. The emergency equipments will also include burn treatment units, respirators etc. The response team is also properly trained to handle fire related emergencies. Mishap specific emergency units also carry general first aid supplies and can be called upon for emergencies apart from their specialization too.

Depending on the amount of stuff you are going to carry, you can carry a fanny pack or a large back pack. Pocket size survival tools kit content like a compass can be helpful for hikers. They can be other tools like a rescue signal, fire starter, fish hooks, ropes, cords, etc which will survive too.
