Description:
Many citizens lack basic first aid skills, equipment or household preparedness (fire extinguishers, first aid kits), leaving communities entirely dependent on weak state services during accidents and disasters.
Desired Outcome:
Households, drivers and workplaces routinely equipped and trained for basic first aid and fire safety, complementing formal emergency services.
What Could Go Wrong:
If public preparedness remains low, even with improved formal services, avoidable deaths and complications will persist because bystanders cannot stabilise victims before help arrives.
Current Situation:
Commenters highlight that most people do not own first aid kits or fire extinguishers and have minimal first aid knowledge, yet expect the state alone to carry all responsibility.
Action Strategy:
Roll out national and state-level public safety campaigns, embed basic first aid training in schools and workplaces, and incentivise households and commercial vehicles to maintain minimum safety equipment.
