The next session is scheduled Saturday, Aug. 24, 10:00 – 11:15 a.m. in the O’Fallon Public Library Community Room, located at 120 Civic Plaza, O'Fallon, Illinois.

Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and call-to-action, initiated by a federal interagency workgroup, convened by the National Security Council Staff at 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 or natural disasters.
