September is National Preparedness Month
National Preparedness Month (NPM) is observed every September across the United States to promote family and community disaster readiness. MDCOT is encouraging individuals to take proactive steps to be prepared for emergencies. FEMA’s official theme for this year is “Americans Stand Ready,” Emergencies can happen fast, and emergency responders aren’t always nearby. You may be able to save a life by taking simple actions immediately. One way to be prepared is the Stop The Bleed campaign that empowers individuals with the skills they need to save lives. Just like learning CPR, knowing how to control bleeding can save lives.
With simple techniques using your hands, dressings, or tourniquets, you can stop uncontrolled bleeding and prevent tragedy. This life-saving training is offered to the community-empowering Marylanders to be the difference when every second counts! Classes are held across the state. For more information on the program and to join a class, please email: stopthebleed@mdcot.com.
