Be Prepared In Dangerous Emergencies - How To Get Emergency Preparedness MB

Hey guys, Mac Guzman here. This video teaches you what to do in an emergency situation, how to carry an injured person, how does a scout help in an emergency, and what to pack during an evacuation. This video is how to get the Emergency Preparedness Merit Badge. This merit badge is a run-off from the First Aid Merit badge - which is the first requirement.

Emergency Preparedness is, in my opinion, one of the most helpful and important merit badges to earn. Completing it trains a scout to become aware of what to do in emergency situations. Although there are many requirements, it does not take long to complete (most likely a week or two)

I hope this video has been helpful to earning the Emergency Preparedness Merit Badge, and teaches scouts on correct responses to emergency situations.
