First Aid in Disasters under Life Saving Skills

First aid is the immediate assistance provided to injured or ill people during disasters before professional medical help arrives. It is an essential life-saving skill that helps preserve life, prevent further injury, and promote recovery. During disasters such as floods, earthquakes, fires, and cyclones, first aid includes controlling bleeding, treating minor burns, dressing wounds, and providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when necessary. Rescuers should ensure their own safety, assess the scene, check the victim’s condition, and call emergency services. Basic first-aid training, emergency kits, and calm decision-making help reduce casualties and improve community preparedness during disaster situations.
