Description
Knowing even a little first aid can be critical in the event of a severe accident or climate event. It is also useful for the cuts and burns of day-to-day life. And in the event of a major disaster, you can better assist medical professionals if you already know the basics.
Tips
• There are many different levels of training available, including online courses that can be completed at your convenience. Check out the options online to get started.• Training is not a one-time thing. Techniques evolve over time, and without practice or retraining, you will forget some of what you have been taught. Plan to retrain periodically.
• Encourage others in your family or household to get training as well, so they can help too! Even kids can learn basic first aid techniques and might find it not just useful but also interesting.
