This bill authorizes the use of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant funds for certain anti-blood loss purposes.

Specifically, a grant under the Urban Area Security Initiative or the State Homeland Grant Program may be used to

  • purchase or distribute anti-blood loss supplies (tourniquets, gauze, dressings, or other appropriate materials) for use in medical emergencies in places where people gather;
  • provide training on the proper use of anti-blood loss supplies to enhance public safety; or
  • make grants to an eligible entity for such purposes.

DHS shall (1) allocate such funds according to a formula that takes into consideration the relative populations of each geographic area for which a grant is made; and (2) conduct outreach to inform state, local, and tribal governments and high-risk urban areas that apply for grants of the availability of funds under this bill.
