I hope this helps, I have spent almost 2 years researching what would be really helpful and USEFUL in a collapse situation.
Airways and ambu bags without a hospital to transfer the patient to, are mostly a waste of money. I would concentrate on the
supplies you will need most and will likely be able use without too much training. Knowledge is power!
