Be the Help Until Help Arrives

For Safety Day, KU WISE is hosting a two-hour presentation including hands-on skills from 10:00AM-12:00PM. Our featured topic is "Be the Help Until Help Arrives" presented by the Douglas County Emergency Management Board. Lunch will be provided from noon-1:00PM following the presentation.



Be the Help Until Help Arrives
Description: Douglas County Emergency Management offers a free training opportunity for the general public to help community members help each other in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. 

This program teaches individuals to accomplish three things: 

1. State the steps you can take when responding to a life-threatening situation,

2. List different reactions you may have in a stressful situation, and

3. Understand the importance of practice and rehearsal to improve your response to a life-threatening situation.


From calling 9-1-1, to stopping bleeding, positioning the injured, and providing comfort, you can make a difference. During the midst of an emergency, preparedness can help remake what it means to be a bystander.
