00:00:00.043 --> 00:00:03.770
(gentle upbeat music)

00:00:03.770 --> 00:00:05.580
- [Narrator] We taught them to read.

00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:06.980
And challenged them to learn.

00:00:08.980 --> 00:00:10.850
We taught them to build.

00:00:10.850 --> 00:00:12.423
And inspired them to dream.

00:00:15.050 --> 00:00:17.110
We taught them to drive.

00:00:17.110 --> 00:00:18.643
And encouraged them to explore.

00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:23.533
Now we will teach them skills
that empower them to save.

00:00:24.390 --> 00:00:27.200
Anyone can save a life
with the proper training.

00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:29.059
That's why the Department
of Homeland Security's

00:00:29.059 --> 00:00:30.986
Science and Technology Directorate

00:00:30.986 --> 00:00:33.568
collaborated with the
Uniformed Services University's

00:00:33.568 --> 00:00:36.820
National Center for Disaster
Medicine in Public Health

00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:40.330
and the American Red Cross to create FAST,

00:00:40.330 --> 00:00:43.200
a course which teaches high
school students to treat trauma

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.880
and save lives at no cost to them.

00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:47.810
Accidents with severe bleeding happen.

00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:51.416
With a planned response, we
can improve the outcomes.

00:00:51.416 --> 00:00:54.583
(gentle upbeat music)

00:01:02.750 --> 00:01:04.150
FAST teaches students the skills

00:01:04.150 --> 00:01:05.770
to assess an injury,

00:01:05.770 --> 00:01:08.960
contact responders and
help control bleeding.

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:11.380
FAST replaces panic with a plan.

00:01:11.380 --> 00:01:13.450
FAST is about empowering
the next generation

00:01:13.450 --> 00:01:14.650
to save lives.

00:01:14.650 --> 00:01:18.240
FAST is knowledge and knowledge is power.

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:20.968
The power to act, the power to save.

00:01:20.968 --> 00:01:24.135
