Emergency Preparedness and Response Training

Posted on by Marilyn Turbush
A national personal preparedness program designed to educate and empower the public to act in emergencies and provide lifesaving care before professional first responders arrive.
The in-person course provides reinforcement in how to:
  • Call 911
  • Make safe decisions in providing care to an individual experiencing an emergency
  • Stop the bleeding and its importance in survival
  • Positioning the injured
  • Providing general comfort

Being able to provide a base level of care during the 5-10 minutes before responders arrive is an important skill for all age levels. The interactive course is scheduled for 2 hours.

Location: UMKC Administrative Center, Plaza Room

Two sessions: 10 am and 1 pm
