Trauma & Burn


Be Prepared for Trauma

Don't panic.

Know how to reach your local Emergency Medical Service (EMS Ambulance). Not all localities use the 911 system. The EMS dispatchers can instruct you in what to do until help arrives.

Take a first aid or CPR course. These courses are offered by many schools, YMCAs, the Red Cross, and community centers.

Keep basic first aid supplies in your home, car, shop, or place of business.
