National Preparedness Month is a time dedicated to encouraging individuals, families, and communities to prepare for emergencies before they happen. While preparedness often brings to mind natural disasters and severe weather, it also includes being ready to respond to life-threatening injuries and medical emergencies.
STOP THE BLEED® plays a vital role in emergency preparedness by equipping everyday people with the skills and confidence to recognize life-threatening bleeding and take action before professional help arrives. By learning how to control severe bleeding, community members can become immediate responders and help save lives when every second counts.
