Abstract

An emergency response kit comprises an enclosure for storage having an operational front open end and a rear closed end, the enclosure being defined by a base, lateral walls, a back wall, and a rooftop. The kit comprises a door pivoted at said operational front end to one of the lateral walls using an attachment means, which facilitates movement of the door between an open position and a closed position to provide access to an inside of the enclosure. A weather-resistive gasket seals a peripheral edge of said open end of the enclosure. The kit has one or more emergency response equipment secured inside the enclosure to one of said enclosure walls. The emergency response equipment comprises breaching equipment, medical supplies, fire safety equipment, firearms and ballistic shields. The kit further comprises a locking mechanism to restrict access to the emergency response equipment.

Claims (14)

1 . An emergency response kit consisting of:

a. an enclosure for storage having an operational front open end and a rear closed end, the enclosure being defined by a base, lateral walls, a back wall, and a rooftop;

b. a door pivoted at the operational front end to one of the lateral walls using an attachment means that facilitates movement of the door between an open position and a closed position to selectively provide access to an inside of the enclosure, said door comprising a stainless steel handle attached to an exterior thereof, and said handle being configured to break off in response to application of excessive force caused by pulling hard on the handle to open the door, leaving the door locked in place but subject to being opened through the use of a biometric lock and/or eye retina scan lock;

c. a weather-resistive gasket sealing a peripheral edge of said open end of the enclosure;

d. emergency response equipment secured on an inside of the enclosure to at least one of said base, said rooftop, said back wall, and said lateral walls, said emergency response equipment consisting of breaching equipment, medical supplies, fire safety equipment, and one or more ballistic shields; and

e. a locking mechanism for securing the door in said closed position to restrict access to the at least one emergency response equipment.

2 . An emergency response locker, consisting of:

a. an enclosure for storage having an operational front open end and a rear closed end, the enclosure being defined by a base, lateral walls, a back wall and a roof top;

b. a door pivoted at said operational front end to one of the lateral walls using an attachment means that facilitates movement of the door between an open position and a closed position to selectively provide access to an inside of the enclosure;

c. a weather-resistive gasket sealing a peripheral edge of said open end of the enclosure;

d. a said rooftop having a sloped profile; and

e. a locking mechanism for securing the door in said closed position to restrict access to interior portions of the locker, said locking mechanism comprising a handle attached to an exterior portion of the door and being configured to break off in response to application of excessive force caused by pulling hard on the handle to open the locker without a key or preselected code, leaving the door locked in place but subject to being opened through the use of said key and/or an appropriate code;

f. said locker containing emergency response equipment secured on an inside of the enclosure to at least one of said base, said rooftop, said back wall, and said lateral walls, said emergency response equipment consisting of breaching equipment, medical supplies, fire safety equipment, at least one noncombustible flashbang, and at least one ballistic shield.

3 . An emergency response locker, as recited by claim 2 , wherein said flashbang is a noncombustible tactical flash device.
