The guest speaker for the evening was Cathy Fox, a “Stop the Bleed” instructor, who educated the group with hands on instruction on how to recognize situations where there is life-threatening bleeding and how to use proper techniques for intervening effectively. She stressed the importance of calling 911, locating the source(s) of the bleeding, applying compression with pressure and\/or wound packing, applying tourniquets as required, and staying around until help arrives.\u00a0 For more information see the website https:\/\/www.stopthebleed.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
