There’s now an app that can help you prepare and respond when first aid is needed.

The official Canadian Red Cross first aid app – “one of the 8 new apps you don’t want to miss” according to Mashable – puts expert advice for everyday emergencies in your hand.

Available for iPhone and Android devices, this free app provides:

• Simple, step-by-step advice to handle first aid situations
• Tips on how to prepare for emergencies from severe winter weather to road traffic accidents
• Videos, animations and interactive quizzes to sharpen your skills

All this is stored in the app itself, so you don’t need an internet connection to find the answer you’re looking for.

In Canada, 50% of people say they’re not confident in their first aid skills. That’s why this app can help save lives. Build up your lifesaving knowledge by downloading it now off the Canadian Red Cross website, the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and then share it with your friends and family.
