Is It Practical To Train People Just For Disasters?

Disaster is typically considered an event that causes injury, loss of life , and widespread damage. It almost always causes local resources to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the crisis.

In our daily lives, citizens unable to help others represents a resource that is “overwhelmed” and basically becomes a “Disaster” on a personal level.
- Not knowing how to help on the scene of an auto accident, or pedestrian hit by a vehicle
- Inability to recognize and initially treat severe bleeding, broken bones or bad burns
- Unaware of the steps (or the precautions) to take when faced with a victim that has an airway problem.

Citizens trained in the manner proposed should be able to Deal More Effectively With Daily Emergencies so they won’t create that “Personal Disaster” situation; and they can advise responders of the pre-emptive steps that have been taken by those on the scene.
