Why are there strict rules about what can and cannot be included in items such as health kits and school kits?
UMCOR Sager Brown uses its existing inventory to respond immediately to a disaster. Therefore kits sent in response to a disaster go to replenish supplies at the Depot. These kits allow UMCOR Sager Brown to send relief supplies without interruption in response to needs in the US and abroad. All emergency kits have been carefully planned to make them as usable as possible in the greatest number of situations. Because of strict rules imposed by international communities regarding product entry into their countries, it is important that kits contain only the items requested and nothing more. Do not include any personal notes, money or additional materials. These things must be painstakingly removed and will impede the progress of the shipment.
