In May we introduced the Do 1 Thing campaign to help simplify the planning process by focusing on just one action each month to help get you prepared. The December topic is First Aid!
Below is a list of things you can do to achieve your goal this month. Choose at least one, and complete it.
Know what to do while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
Make or buy first aid kits for your home and car.
Take training in first aid, CPR, AED, or pet first aid.

An emergency can happen at any time and any place. Many public places have a first aid kit, oxygen, or an AED (automated external defibrillator) to treat people. These items can only save lives if someone knows how to use them. Actions you take in the first few minutes after an injury or other medical incident may save someone’s life.
Aside from through the American Red Cross, the Anteater Recreation Center offers CPR/First Aid/AED Training on campus. For more information call (949)824-3738.

Additionally, the UC Irvine Police Department, Emergency Services Division, has a number of online resources to assist you with being prepared both at home and here on campus.
