Keeping CSM Safe: Save a Life, Stop the Bleed
In an emergency, no matter how quickly first responders arrive, bystanders will always be first on the scene. An injured person can succumb to blood loss in a matter of minutes, and you may be able to save a life by taking simple actions immediately. “Stop the bleed” kits are located next to the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) cabinets in all college buildings and are marked on the interactive campus maps.
