The CTECC Board of Directors is pleased to release the new "Be The Help" public information flier for citizen First Care Providers. It is intended to further CTECC's commitment to the initial link in the chain of survival by empowering citizens to act to address the known preventable causes of death in the immediate aftermath of trauma and mass casualty. This flier also supports and builds on the collaborative message of the FEMA You Are The Help and the White House Stop The Bleed campaigns.
Please post this flier and distribute this flier widely! We need to empower our communities and empower our citizens to help to save lives. Together, by building a care system that reaches across the entire community, we can improve survival!
