"Nurture the Living, Care for the Dying
and Honor the Dead"



Each of us could be called upon at a moments notice to respond to an emergency scene, natural disaster or terrorist attack. Once on scene you may not be able to leave for some time. What sort of things will you need? Will you be prepared?

Below is a list of recommended items to consider including in your Response Kit. Some are specific to Chaplains while other items apply to all members. Some will seem obvious while others may seem silly, until you need them.
