If a crisis happens, those onsite may need to give emergency first aid to injured people.

To make this possible, people at your site should be trained in emergency first aid, including stopping bleeding, administering CPR, and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Emergency first aid supplies need to be on hand. Consider:

• Coordinating with local emergency responders on first aid training and emergency supply kit contents.
• Designating a first aid team using trained staff members or volunteers.
• Providing first aid training to groups of students or members of your congregation. First aid training may be available through the American Red Cross, some local fire departments, and as part of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training.
