Preventing Unintentional Injuries

There are many non-traumatic situations or conditions that may occur and need to be handled properly. Being prepared and knowing how to react ahead of time could prevent a situation from becoming an emergency. And, learning how to respond to conditions and illnesses properly could make the difference between a potentially fatal outcome and a treatable, manageable situation.

Listed in the directory below you will find some additional information regarding preventing unintentional injuries, for which we have provided a brief overview.

If you cannot find the information in which you are interested, please visit the Non-Traumatic Emergencies Online Resources page in this Web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.
