STOP THE BLEED - Free Event

Today we live in a world where terrorism, the actions of unstable people, and the dangerous impulses of friends and relatives are very real and becoming increasingly more frequent.

Massive bleeding from any cause, but particularly from an active shooter or explosive event where a response is delayed can result in death. Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR, the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings, and tourniquets. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding, within two to three minutes!

However, anyone at the scene can act as immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do. BleedingControl.org supports Presidential Policy Directive 8, which targets preparedness as a shared responsibility of the government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and individual citizens.
