No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss.
Stop the Bleed is a nationwide campaign to empower individuals to act quickly and save lives.
Remember to be aware of your surroundings and move yourself and the injured person to safety, if necessary.

Resources available for instructors
The NCRTAC has individual hemorrhage control kits available to give away with each Stop the Bleed class taught. Instructors will be issued one kit for each class and can give it away as either a door prize for a lucky student or as a thank you gift for the hosting business or agency.
Instructors can also get a modest stipend from the NCRTAC if they are not being paid by another employer or sponsor. Contact Michael.Fraley@NCRTAC-WI.org for more details or download the stipend form HERE.
