To raise awareness of home emergencies, Temasek Foundation provided home owners and rental tenants of newly-completed public housing developments with first aid kits and knowledge on how to manage emergencies at home.
A first aid kit contains essential supplies for the treating of burns, cuts, fractures and other common injuries. Assemble your own first aid kit, customise the contents according to your family’s needs, and refresh the supplies regularly.
