It is critical for everyone to have access to emergency supplies in case we need them, but most emergency preparedness kits and First-Aid kits are not accessible to the blind and visually impaired. Thanks to Grab Bag, the VI community will not have to compile their own and label them. The company offers six different kits that are accessible to both large print and braille readers. The kits range from a cost of $9.99 for Mini Braille First-Aid kit, to $99 for a Deluxe Vision Impaired Survival Kit. The first-aid kits come with standard items such as bandages, gloves, tweezers, and gauze pads. The emergency preparedness kits come with items such as water pouches, a crank mobile device charger, a solar blanket, a folding white cane, and much more.
