TODAY: New Life-Saving Public Preparedness Program Launches in the United States. As a parent of a child, it is imperative for me always to have the items I need to take care of Charlie in any situation. Which is why I was so happy to learn about CitizenAid and why I plan on downloading the app and purchasing a kit not only for my home but to donate to the local school.
We believe that being prepared matters. Those first five minutes count. They make the difference — you make the difference. You can save lives.
With the right skills and knowledge you can deliver care to yourself, your friends and family, and to the stranger caught in an emergency situation

citizenAID North America Brings Disaster Response System to the US from the UK
WASHINGTON – Today citizenAID North America (citizenAID) officially launched in the U.S., uniting comprehensive public treatment kits and online training and curriculum – all specific to disaster preparedness – in one place for the first time.
citizenAID is a system of immediate actions the public can take to save lives – either their own or those around them – should they be caught in the act of violence or law of nature where multiple people are injured. citizenAID was designed to educate, empower, and equip the average citizen to save lives during the time between the point of wounding and professional medical care arriving.
To distribute this knowledge broadly, citizenAID has developed a free mobile application available now in the App Store and Google Play. In addition to the app, citizenAID also provides:
Public Treatment Kits: citizenAID has created kits and wall stations in various sizes for schools, community spaces, offices, and public transportation hubs.
Online Training & Curriculum: citizenAID offers online training that leverages the knowledge of our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), who have spent decades working in emergency response. This curriculum will be available for download on our website in early February 2018.
citizenAID’s mission is simple: To save lives in times of crisis.
About citizenAID North America
citizenAID was first launched in the UK by four deeply experienced civilian and military clinicians working in collaboration with industry to improve public resilience. citizenAID leverages the success of the Combat Lifesaver Program, which was created to decrease the percentage of preventable deaths on the battlefield by teaching primary trauma care to battlefield soldiers. citizenAID has repurposed this training for consumption by non-military citizens and has created a free mobile application so that this knowledge is accessible to every American, free of charge.

Get The Lifesaving Kits
Ensure your home, school, workplace, and the house of worship have these lifesaving kits.
Our Public Treatment Kit (PTK) is a compact, vacuum-sealed kit that is ideal to place on your desk at work, car, briefcase, or just around the home. Our wall-mounted stations for public access contain multiple kits that are ideal for schools, public buildings, offices, malls or places of worship.
We have a scalable approach to getting the correct amount of life-saving equipment into your hands as a citizenAID™ responder.
Our Classroom Sponsorship Program makes it easy for you to donate a Public Treatment Kit and online training to a teacher or coach of your choice, making sure our country’s educators prepared for anything.
