A backboard is formed from a cut blank defining a base and a top panel. The base has a generally rectangular shape with side panels coupled to the center panel by a fold line. The top panel is secured to the center panel of the base to increase the strength of the backboard. The top panel includes a center panel having a plurality of foldable arms which can be folded inwardly over a patient positioned on the backboard to restrain the patient on the backboard. The top panel also includes a pair of flaps that are folded along fold lines to form a head support for engaging the sides of a patient's head and preventing twisting or lateral movement of the patient's head. A securing device is placed around the backboard and the patient to restrain the patient and to assist in lifting the backboard.
