Basic Emergency Lifesaving Skills in Schools Be Ready with BELSS!! The BELSS Initiative is designed to increase the number of school-aged youth who are competent in emergency health skills by training instructors and providing curriculums to promote the development of these skills. Emergency health is the spectrum of knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to prevent, prepare for, and respond to serious, unexpected situations that require immediate action. Emergency health encompasses injury prevention, safety, first aid, CPR, AED, emergency preparedness, and coordinated school health programs. More importantly, it represents the interaction and integration of these components. BELSS is the first comprehensive model of emergency health in schools.
