Description:
Life-threatening emergencies can happen fast and emergency responders aren’t always nearby. You may be able to save a life by taking simple actions immediately. FEMA’s You Are the Help Until Help Arrives (Until Help Arrives) provides tools to educate and empower the public to act in an emergency situation before professional help arrives by taking five Until Help Arrives key actions:
- Call 9-1-1;
- Protect the injured from harm;
- Stop bleeding;
- Position the injured so they can breathe;
- Provide comfort.
The Until Help Arrives program teaches basic skills to help keep people alive and safe until professional help arrives.
