First Aid & Medical

 

First Aid
This is the web site of St. John Ambulance Company in Australia, so while the First Aid Advice for all sorts of emergencies is great, the phone numbers won't help much. All the U.S. sites we found want to sell you something.

Advice on: Bleeding, Burns, Getting Help, Bruises, Sprains and Strains, Eye Injuries, Foreign Body, Chemical Irritants, Welding Flash, Fractures & Dislocations, Head and Face Injuries, Heart Attack, Minor Injuries, Blisters, Nose Bleeds, Scrapes & Grazes, Splinters, Poisoning, Shock, Spinal Injury, Stings & Bites

Volunteering

 

Volunteering Online at Helping.org

Imagine if you could type in your zip code and get a list of opportunities to volunteer in your own community. Just go to:

http://www.helping.org/volunteer/
  • enter zipcode (e.g. 53208)
  • enter miles willing to travel (5, 10, 20, 60)
  • check when willing to volunteer: this week, in 2 weeks, in 3 weeks, in 1 month, in 2 months
  • check frequency: onetime, ongoing opportunities, both
  • check interest areas: animals, arts & crafts, children & youth, human & civil rights, computers & technology, disabled, disaster relief, domestic violence, substance abuse, education & literacy, employment, environment, gay-lesbian-bi-trans, health & medicine, homeless & housing, international, legal aid, politics, race & ethnicity, religion, seniors, sports & recreation, women, other, everything
  • Or search by name of a non-profit organization

If the VolunteerMatch search does not find any listied opportunities that fits your criteria, it will suggest a good number of "virtual volunteering" tasks that can be done from anywhere via your computer in any and all of the above categories.

As this is a new service, we can't expect it to have a thorough listing right off the starting line, but it is a start in a very helpful direction. The service is financed by The America Online Foundation, but you do not have to have America Online as your internet service provider (ISP) in order to participate.
