Emergency Preparedness - Stop the Bleed

Stop the Bleed


 Tennessee Tech University has joined the nationwide effort to empower bystanders to help save lives in bleeding emergencies before professional help arrives.

In the critical minutes between the 911 call and the arrival of emergency responders, the average person can make the difference between life and death. Campus officials are providing trauma kits to be used by the campus community during this critical time.

Here is what you need to know:

  • Kits are located near automated external defibrillators (AEDs)
  • Some larger wall units are located in large gathering areas
  • The kits are designed to treat life-threatening bleeding wounds
  • Easy to follow instructions are inside

Emergency preparedness is easy: locate the AED and trauma kit nearest you.
