There have been some changes to the Safety Cluster this year, so please take note!

First Aid:

A contracted agency (NorthBeast) is providing first aid services to event participants. EMTs with festival/event experience will be staffing the First Aid station (right by the Rangers) during the entire event.

There will also be self-service basic first aid supplies available at the Ranger Station, and some Rangers have basic first aid skills, but it is recommended that theme camps and individual Fireflies bring their own basic first aid supplies, as well as all personal medication.

Community Education Event:

While NorthBeast will be providing first aid and medical services, Firefly First Aid Volunteers will be hosting a community education event to help Fireflies be more prepared to help ourselves and each other with basic first aid and more serious injuries and conditions that could happen in the woods. If you want to learn some skills, look for details in the WWW! 

Rangers

Rangers are friendly Fireflies who can help! This year, they will be wearing bright green t-shirts or vests. All Rangers can help connect you with NorthBeast for first aid/medical needs, and can escalate an emergency response if necessary. 

Med Alert Cards

There will be medical alert cards available at the Ranger station for anyone to pick up to fill out and carry with them so they can be better served in case of an emergency. These can cite specific medical or mental health conditions, or any consideration someone would like responders to be informed about. .

In Case of Emergency

In the event of an emergency or a more serious medical issue, FIND A RANGER OR ANYONE WITH A RADIO. This is the best and quickest way to ensure a 911 call will find you. Rangers will escalate to the OODs, who have a plan in place to help outside emergency assistance find and access participants in need in the fastest way possible.
