Stop The Bleed

Why Learn?

Why Learn?

A bleeding injury can happen anywhere. We’ve all seen it happen too often—on the news or in everyday life. Life-threatening bleeding can happen in people injured in serious accidents or disasters. Instead of being a witness, you can become an immediate responder because you know how to STOP THE BLEED®.

 

What You’ll Gain from the Course

What You’ll Gain from the Course

The person next to a bleeding victim may very well be the one who’s most likely to save him or her from bleeding to death. By learning how to STOP THE BLEED®, you’ll gain the ability to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control bleeding once you learn three quick techniques. Take the STOP THE BLEED® training course and become empowered to make a life or death difference when a bleeding emergency happens.

How We Teach

How We Teach

Our instructors will teach you live—in person, using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques. They will not only instruct you, they will be available to check your movements as you practice three different bleeding control actions. They will keep working with you until you demonstrate the correct skills to STOP THE BLEED® and save a life.

Active Shooter Preparedness

Active shooter incidents are often unpredictable and evolve quickly. In the midst of the chaos, anyone can play an integral role in mitigating the impacts of an active shooter incident. DHS aims to enhance preparedness through a “whole community” approach by providing  products, tools, and resources to help you prepare for and respond to an active shooter incident. To access the most applicable information, please select one of the provided categories.

  • First Responder
  • Human Resources or Security Professional
  • Private Citizen
  • Active Shooter Workshop Participant

In addition, you can find the active shooter resources translated into other common languages on the Translated Active Shooter Resources webpage.

National Weather Service Education

If you’re interested in learning about weather, science, and more, you’ve come to the right place! You’ll find a wealth of weather resources for educators, adults, and children of all ages. On this site, you can explore science, safety, citizen science programs, careers and connect with meteorologists at your local NWS Office.

Additionally, for those who would like to learn more about NOAA and the NWS, the video section features interviews and talks from education experts within the agencies.
