National Disaster Life Support (NDLS)

National Disaster Life Support (NDLS) is a standardized training program designed to equip healthcare professionals and responders with essential skills for managing and responding to emergencies and disasters. It covers topics like triage, stabilization, and coordination during events such as natural disasters, accidents, or terrorist attacks. The goal is to ensure a coordinated, efficient, and effective response, minimizing injury and saving lives. NDLS promotes consistency across agencies and disciplines, improving overall disaster preparedness and response efforts. It is often part of broader emergency preparedness initiatives to strengthen community resilience and healthcare system readiness.
