Checklist for Early CPR Preparedness
  1. Are you trained in CPR? If not, sign up for a class in your area and encourage a friend or family member to join you.

  2. Are people in your workplace trained? If not, see if your company would sponsor a training program through an organization such as the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, or the National Safety Council.

  3. Is CPR offered in local schools? If not, help start a program to ensure that all students learn CPR before graduating from high school.

  4. If you are trained, has your certification expired? If so, it's time to take a refresher course.

  5. Are the emergency dispatchers in your area trained to give medical care instructions over the phone? If not, see how this situation could be changed.
