Stop The Bleed Class
2017-05-20 13:00 - 16:00, 2017-05-20 09:00 - 12:00, 2017-04-29 13:00 - 16:00 | Harborview, 300 Ninth Ave, Seattle, WA, 98104, United States
Will you be ready?
A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes. Emergency responders will arrive as quickly as possible, but bystanders are almost always there first. In the case of disaster and high casualty incidents, emergency services are often spread thin.
Stop the Bleed!
Blood loss is the leading cause of preventable death in multiple casualty events, like mass shootings, terrorist attacks and earthquakes. Significant external bleeding can also result from everyday events such as a motorcycle crash, or industrial accident. Rapid control of bleeding at the scene of the event can be life-saving. That’s why we’re teaming up with Harborview Medical Center, the American College of Surgeons Washington State Committee on Trauma, and Seattle and King County EMS to ensure that:

Bystanders have skills and knowledge to provide immediate bleeding control to victims at the scene of an event.
Bleeding control supplies are located in all public gathering locations next to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).
Bleeding control education is incorporated into our schools and workplace.
People know what to do in an active shooter situation

After a successful launch, BEAN is hosting the next step to inform our Beacon Hill neighbors about how to build neighborhood resiliency and emergency preparedness.
We’re building a communication and resource network, desperately needed on Beacon Hill, which will serve to help all residents in case of emergency. Join us and learn how you can start and grow a localized network (a Hub) for you and your neighbors.
Representatives from the Seattle Emergency Communication Hubs and local Hubs will be on hand to walk us through what it would be like to respond in a major disaster. We will practice some of the different volunteer assignments. There will be plenty of time to answer questions and get guidance on how to get started with making your home and your neighborhood more prepared for emergencies. If you can’t attend for the whole time, feel free to come at 11:00 and become a “citizen actor” for us.
This is your chance to sign up you and your neighbors, and to join our network. We will follow with more sessions providing information on how to organize individual neighborhood hubs, how to acquire resources, how to locate gathering places, and how to establish emergency communication systems (such as ham radio).
