The Emergency and Medical Response Team (EMRT)

A First Aid & Basic Emergency Team for the Memphis Muslim Community

  • Heart Attacks are the leading cause of death in the US today.

  • Proper Administration of CPR and AED shocks improves chances of surviving an out of hospital cardiac arrest.

  • Chances of survival decrease 7-10% with every minute that passes without CPR and defibrillation

Why Have an EMRT?

  • Sudden cardiac arrest can happen in any age group

  • Medical emergencies and urgent medical conditions can happen at any time, any place, and to any person

  • To be prepared · Learn more: Project ADAM

  • A first aid response team specifically trained and equipped to handle certain medical emergencies within the scope of its training and practice at a first aid level up to the level of the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) and HeartSaver programs with advanced care being deferred to EMS upon arrival of EMS at the scene.

  • Provide basic first aid at large Muslim gathers/events, all masajid, and PVS (each organization will have its own team)
