FEMA's You Are Help Until Help Arrives

When a critical incident occurs, there can be a delay before emergency services are able to arrive on scene. Knowing what to do to help the injured in the meantime can help save lives. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's You Are the Help Until Help Arrives page provides information on steps to take to save lives, includes interactive and training videos, and links to YouTube videos emphasizing the importance of individuals providing aid when someone has been injured.
