Access to Lifesaving Equipment: Bleeding Control Kits
This act aims to enhance public safety by funding the purchase and distribution of bleeding control kits in public areas. Citizens will gain easier access to life-saving equipment in emergencies and the opportunity to receive training on its use, potentially increasing survival rates in critical situations.
Key points
State, local, and Tribal governments can receive grants to purchase and distribute anti-blood loss supplies (e.g., tourniquets, gauze) in high-traffic areas or near automated external defibrillators.
The program also funds training courses on the proper use of these supplies, enhancing citizens' first aid capabilities.
A study will be conducted on the trends in access to and utilization of bleeding control kits and training across the U.S., aiding future planning.
