RE: The Thing You Forget When Planning for an Emergency

in #survival6 years ago

Another wonderful and useful discussing topic by @arbitrarykitten mam...
Due to their unexpected nature, emergency situations are often chaotic. People react to different situations in different ways, and it is very common for an individual to lose his or her composure during a crisis and forget the appropriate actions to take. Although it is necessary to have a detailed emergency plan, one should also have a very basic concept of what to do in the event of an emergency. By making a “First Things To Do” list, whether at home, school or work, you can be confident that everyone involved will know how to handle themselves in an emergency. Each emergency situation is different, but there are basic guidelines that can help you through any incident that might occur. The following list of the first things to do in any emergency contains overall tips that could fit most situations.

First Things to Do in Any Emergency

  1. Stay calm. This will allow you to think clearly and use common sense.
  2. Access the scenario for danger. Decide whether it is safer to evacuate or shelter-in-place.
  3. Once safely evacuated or sheltered-in-place, call for help using 911 and clearly explain what you know about the situation.
  4. Provide first aid for any injured people. Move any people who are injured away from further danger.
  5. Obtain as much information about the emergency as possible, without putting yourself in danger. Pass the information on to emergency responders when they arrive on the scene.

Wel done and perfect work mam...

Besides making the emergency plans, the entire family should practice them twice a year.
