The Program
Bleed Safe Community is a program designed to increase survival from potentially preventable causes of death due to trauma. Although no formal recognition exists, Chino Valley Fire is working at a grassroots level to help increase our communities' readiness and resiliency from trauma.
The Criteria
The Bleed Safe model allows cities, counties, and states the ability to evaluate and re-evaluate their readiness to manage trauma. A minimum criterion is set forth for communities to achieve Bleed Safe recognition.
Examples of such criteria include:
- Raising community awareness of the dangers of trauma
- Offering community trauma classes
- Establishing a public access trauma kit program
- Ensuring local first responders and first receivers are trained and equipped to manage traumatic injuries
- Developing a means to assist survivors of traumatic injuries through the recovery process
There are no fees and no central authority governing the Bleed Safe Community Program. It is designed to be an open source of best practices, lessons learned, and shared ideas to prevent death from traumatic injury.
