Host a Free Intro to Critical Skills

Bring emergency-skills education to your customers, staff, and community.

An emergency can happen on a fishing trip, in the workshop, at home, or in the parking lot. Knowing how to recognize the problem and organize help can make a difference.

C.O.R.E. Preparedness offers a free introductory presentation that brings emergency awareness and instructor demonstrations directly to your business.

Free to host. Free to attend.

What does the session cover?

Recognizing dangerous bleeding
Learn the warning signs that call for immediate action and professional help.

First aid myths and facts
We address common claims about tampons, belts, and tourniquets—and explain why familiar shortcuts can fail.

Bleeding-control demonstrations
Watch an instructor demonstrate direct pressure, gauze and wound packing, pressure dressings, and a C-A-T tourniquet using training equipment.

Emergency teamwork
Explore how to call for help, assign specific tasks, locate equipment, and confirm that people complete their assignments through closed-loop communication.

Good Samaritan basics
Get a plain-language introduction to the conditions and limits of North Carolina and South Carolina’s Good Samaritan laws.

A presentation that fits your audience

We tailor the examples to the people you serve.

Outdoor enthusiasts
Boating, fishing, hunting, boat ramps, and situations where access to help may be difficult.

Everyday emergencies
Injuries at home, in the workplace, in the yard, and on the road.

Outdoor retailers, tackle shops, marinas, community organizations, and other local businesses can offer their customers and staff a useful opportunity to learn and ask questions.
