Civilian Medical Aid – How To Help
Photo: exploregeography_net
When there is a disaster, we all want to help if we can. But we also don’t want to be in the way of first responders!
After Hurricane Katrina people sent literally tons of clothing, toys, and household supplies which sat for months unsorted and unused in containers. What their most desperate need was shelter and fresh water. Things that those of us thousands of miles away could not provide.
But in the tragedy of 9/11 the help of the community was desperately needed. Civilians formed bucket barricades, fed first responders and survivors, handed out bandanas to assist breathing safely, and provided some medical support. That is the kind of assistance that the featured article talks about.
The Survival Mom takes the lengthy article written by Michael Karch, M.D. regarding his work with the injured in that disaster and highlights the points from that article to bullet points of what we can do in a similar disaster. Although we all hope that the events of that fateful day are never repeated anywhere ever again, a tornado, super storm, or earthquake can do almost as much damage and leave just as many needy victims.
Her list tells us what we can do to assist in the medical needs, what is best to bring and what we should leave to the professionals. See that listing at the link below
