Emergency Preparedness and School Safety Conference

The first publication of Emergency Preparedness and School Safety Conference was carried out on: ICSAVE.org

Our communities owe a special thank you to the Phoenix Fire Department! Due to their dedication and hard work, we now have 32 more trained and certified immediate responders among our ranks! On Wednesday, December 6th, dedicated school nurses from throughout the Phoenix Metro Valley completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control Certification. Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these nurses now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life!
