This session presents two states’ efforts — Rhode Island and South Carolina — in using the MRC to build community resilience by empowering people to actively respond during accidents or acts of violence, and build skills to reduce deaths from traumatic blood loss and airway maintenance of the unconscious person. The review and use of appropriate educational materials, in addition to developing instructors from various walks of life, effectively allowed for the programs to reach a wider variety of people and settings.

Learning Objectives:

Identify at least 2 current priority areas in public health preparedness resilience and recovery, at the local, state, tribal, and national levels.
