In a medical crisis, Time is often the deciding factor between life or death. With these clear simple formulas and hands-on skills, any average person might make the critical difference.
Disaster First Aid contains ONLY essentials. It covers the injuries and conditions expected to occur in large numbers in a severe emergency such as major earthquake, terrorist attack, massive explosion, or structure collapse.
These are the actions needed to save lives and prevent the worsening of injury. They can be done by the average person, with emphasis on the rescuer/helper’s own safety, which is always first-priority.
You will learn to use Rapid Triage to identify who needs help first and give the simple but critical first-action treatments. You will learn how to keep yourself and others alive and viable until professional help comes. Your early interventions will enable them to save those savable lives that might otherwise have worsened or died while waiting, in a large-scale disaster when 911 resources are overwhelmed and unable to respond immediately to all the areas needing immediate help.

You will learn how to prevent the preventable deaths, control bleeding, treat trauma injuries and incipient shock, and how to improvise splint and bandage materials from common things you find in your environment. You will learn and practice the simple but crucial skills and information that enable you to do all that anyone could do in the same situation.
Our program users include Schools, Colleges, Corporations and Small Businesses, CERT training programs, and community organizations of all sizes and kinds.
Ultmately, what's in your mind will be much more important than what's in your first aid kit.
