2. Food and Water supply. Make sure that your team have stocked up on food and water. Dont just look at packing the bare essentials, but consider a scenario where you might be forced to stay away overnight or for a few days.
3. First Aid. Always have a first aid kit at the ready. You never know when it might be needed, even for the smallest accident. A first aid kit will help buy you some time should an unfortunate event occur within your team.
4. Clothing and footwear. When you are in a foreign country you never know when the weather might turn. It could be extremely hot one minute with a downpour of rain (and floods) the next. Be prepared for a sudden change in the weather
5. Communications. Give your team the ability to communicate with a central base within the distance of their travel. GPS Tracking can prove to be a life saving technology be it through simple tracking of personnel or communications over a radio network.
All of the above 5 points should be part of any remote teams planning and preparation when sending personnel out into the field.

Up front planning and a well thought of crisis management plan will not only help save lives, but also give your team the confidence to go out and concentrate on their task at hand.
