As part of their efforts to promote safety across the UGA campus and beyond, the University of Georgia’s Office of Emergency Preparedness and the student-led Prepared Dawgs Ambassadors will host free training classes for university students this spring.
The first class, Basic Emergency Preparedness, will be held Wednesday, March 18, from 6 to 7 p.m. This class will cover how to prepare, respond to, and recover from an emergency, both at home and in the workplace. The first 50 students to attend will receive a free Emergency Preparedness kit, which includes a light source, emergency blanket, water, and a meal bar.
The next class, scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, from 6 to 7 p.m., will cover Stop the Bleed, which teaches how to control life-threatening bleeding using a tourniquet, applying pressure with gauze, and other techniques. The first 50 students to attend will receive a free Stop the Bleed kit, which includes gloves, materials for wound packing, and a tourniquet.
Both classes will take place in the Miller Learning Center, Room 207.
Registration is not required.
