The ‘Stop the Bleed’ campaign was initiated by a federal interagency workgroup convened by the National

Security Council Staff, The White House. The purpose of the campaign is to build national resilience by

better preparing the public to save lives by raising awareness of basic actions to stop life threatening

bleeding following everyday emergencies and man-made and natural disasters. Advances made by military

medicine and research in hemorrhage control during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have informed the

work of this initiative which exemplies translation of knowledge back to the homeland to the benet of the

general public. ‘Stop the Bleed’ is a registered service mark of the Department of the Defense.

Use of the equipment and the training does not guarantee that all bleeding will be stopped or that all lives

will be saved.

The only thing more tragic than a

death from bleeding…

IS A DEATH THAT COULD

HAVE BEEN PREVENTED.
