First aid activities, preparedness, and contingency planning are closely related. First aid activities are the oldest and also the most well-known form of activity of the Red Cross worldwide. Many volunteers in HUP’s first aid groups are involved in emergency response teams and first aid duty activities.
First aid and preparedness activities are suitable for all ages. In these activities, volunteers are often needed for assisting roles as patients and mock victims, and the whole family can participate in the exercises.
