Seattle Emergency Hubs

Stop the Bleed
2019-01-12 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Vancouver) | Hope Lutheran Church – Fellowship Hall, 4456 42nd Ave SW, Seattle, WA, 98116, United States
“Stop the Bleed”, a national program developed by trauma experts, is designed to teach people with little or no medical training simple techniques to stop life-threatening bleeding.

A one-hour presentation is followed by hands-on practice packing wounds and applying tourniquets on dummies. The presentation includes a 10-minute video on surviving an active shooter situation. While active shooter situations are on everyone’s mind these days, you are more likely to use these life-saving skills because of accidents in your home, on a hiking/camping trip, or on the highway.

We encourage anyone of high-school age and up to sign up. Some images on the slides and the video are graphic, so we ask that no younger children accompany you to the class.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at LCStopsTheBleed@gmail.com.

Home Retrofit
2018-10-06 10:30 - 12:30 | Northeast Branch Library, 6801 35th Ave NE, Seattle, WA, 98115, United States
Help reduce damage caused during an earthquake. Learn to become an informed consumer or how to do home retrofit yourself. Retrofit experts will show how to assess your home’s needs and how to use the City of Seattle’s pre-engineered Home Retrofit plans to permit and retrofit your home.
Prior to 1980, building codes did not require builders to secure houses to their foundations. This does not mean that every house built before 1980 is “unsecured”, only that it was not a requirement. If your home is not properly secured, it may be at increased risk of “slipping” off the foundation during a major earthquake. Retrofitting involves bolting your home to its foundation and providing sheer/pony wall strength
