Surviving the Timeline provides general preparedness and first aid information for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for professional medical care, diagnosis, or treatment.

In an emergency

Call your local emergency number first. Our guides describe what you can do while you wait for help or when professional care is not available. They do not replace getting it.

Get trained

Reading is not training. We encourage you to take a certified first aid, CPR, or Stop the Bleed class from an organization such as the American Red Cross.

Herbs and home remedies

Do not rely on herbs or home remedies to treat serious injuries or infections. Talk to a healthcare professional before using any herbal product, especially if you are pregnant, take medication, or have a medical condition.

Use at your own risk

Survival and preparedness activities carry risk. You are responsible for your own safety and decisions. We are not liable for any injury or loss resulting from use of this site.
