Get serious about wilderness first aid with certification course
Four-day course will be offered June 7-10 at Hungry Valley SVRA
In a matter of a few hours, your 4-wheel drive vehicle can take you far into the outback. So far in fact that calling 911 is not an option. And in the event, you do reach 911, it may be hours before anyone can reach you - not the 3 to 10 minutes we normally expect in the urban environment. In this situation, you need to rely on your own first aid skills learned in the Wilderness Advanced First Aid class.
The Wilderness Advanced First Aid clinic will provide you with skills, knowledge and training to handle life threatening medical emergencies and allows you to be better prepared to protect your family in an emergency.

CA4WDC welcomes the appointment and believes the Governor has made an excellent choice.
