 Until Help Arrives Program

This program, created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was developed to educate the public on how to save lives, provide care and take action until professional help arrives in the event of an emergency.
​The program discusses and reviews the five critical steps:

 Call 9-1-1
Protect the injured from harm
Stop bleeding
Position people so they can breathe
Provide comfort

The presentation by an Emergency Medical Technician from the Bedford Fire Department identifies how to safely take the steps that can save lives. Life threatening emergencies can happen anywhere - on the road, in the neighborhood, at home, and even in church.  Studies show that proper action, executed quickly, can have significant positive effects.
​
 In a widespread disaster situation, we can’t always depend on first responders to quickly come to our aid. In many cases, YOU are the help, until help arrives.
