Citizens unanimously state that for them, First Aid is the most important component of disaster response, and the part that's most beneficial to them personally. A common complaint about CERT programs is disappointment in the first aid segment:
"It was not enough."

Disaster First Aid© is concise but complete. It is designed for disaster, esssentials-only, written in clear plain language with no medical words and no unrealistic expectations. Anyone can save lives if they know these simple but critical formulas and skills, and do them quickly.

Unlike standard first aid, Disaster First Aid is a compact, one-day course that contains ONLY the most essential skills and information for saving the saveable lives in multi-casualty incidents. This course is based on standard disaster protocols of EMTs & firefighter First Responders, adapted to the citizen level of ability and resources.

Disaster First Aid includes a First-24-Hour Action Outline, a simplified adaptation of *S.T.A.R.T. Rapid Triage, and the simple correct procedures for the most common trauma injuries and shock that occur in multi-casualty incidents.
