Welcome to Week 5: Mastering Emergency First Aid
Congratulations on making it to the last week of the first month of your prepping journey!

If you missed any of the previous weeks, it’s never too late—go back and start from Week 1 to ensure you don’t miss a step in building your preparedness plan.
This week, we’re diving into Emergency First Aid Essentials, a crucial component of preparedness that could make all the difference in an emergency situation.
Why First Aid Preparedness Matters
- Immediate medical response can save lives in crisis situations.
- Proper first aid skills prevent minor injuries from becoming major issues.
- Being prepared gives you confidence to help your family and community when medical services may not be available.

- Store your kit in a waterproof, easily accessible container.
2. Learn Basic First Aid Skills
Practice essential skills such as:

- Recognizing signs of shock, stroke, and heart attack.
- Consider taking an online or local first aid certification course.
3. Create a Family First Aid Plan
